Daniel Thomas Egerton (1797-1842), a landscape painter, was one of the original members of the Society of British Artists, where he exhibited in the years 1824 to 1829, and in 1838 to 1840. In the latter years of his life he travelled much in America, obtaining thus the subjects for several pictures, notably one of Niagara. He was murdered in Mexico in 1842.

A painting of The Ravine of the Desert (The Valley of Mexico) was sold at Christie's New York in 2007 for $384,000.[1]
