Alexander Francis Lydon was Irish-born and the oldest of six siblings. His parents were a traveling couple and so Lydon spent his childhood in England. When the time came for teaching, Alexander Francis Lydon faced the basics of the apprenticeship as a printer. He learned the skills of wood printing and made first attempts in chromolithography, whose technique he deepened. He made illustrations for books on natural history. His depictions of birds, fish and plants were based on the models of well-known naturalists. Lydon took a liking to the fine, slightly transparent depictions and made watercolour painting his own. Thus his work includes not only coloured engravings and lithographs, but also watercolours that capture the special play of colours in nature. In addition to his workshop work with naturalistic depictions of flora and fauna, the depictions of landscapes and mansions of the English landed gentry were added to his repertoire.
Among his most famous works are without doubt his book illustrations. The depictions of his bird illustrations, especially of parrots, are unique. One of his most famous individual depictions is the colored Robinson Crusoe, which dramatically captivates the viewer with its dark, turbulent sea.
