William Thomas smith (1895-1936) was a British artist about whom surprisingly little is known despite the fact that his portrait of Sir Henry Mortimer Durand (1903-04) hangs in Britain’s National Portrait Gallery and what is considered his best-known painting, “They Forged the Last Links with Their Lives”: Sir John Franklin’s Men Dying by Their Boat during the North-west Passage Expedition (1895), hangs in the National Maritime Museum.
