Biographical Details	Coffee worked for Coade and Sealy (see Coade Factory of Lambeth) and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1816 from 11 Brook Street, West Square, Lambeth. In the same year he emigrated to Charleston, South Carolina, and later went to New York, where he died after 1869. One of his busts, of General Scott (2), was reproduced in 1877 on the United States 24 cent stamp. The Fort Beauséjour Museum, New Brunswick has a bust of John Watts by ‘Thomas Coffee’, probably the same artist. Literary References: Gunnis 1968, 109
