In 1788 he published an early book of coloured aquatints, Animals Drawn from Nature and Engraved in Aqua-tinta. The book included images and descriptions, written and etched by Catton, of thirty-six animals from around the world.[1]
He emigrated to the United States in 1804 and settled in a farm on the River Hudson with his two daughters and a son. There he lived until his death, painting occasionally. He is said to have "acquired wealth"' through his painting. He was also a slave owner. In 1815, he severely beat his slave, Robert, who was engaged in a relationship with Sojourner Truth, herself at the time enslaved on a neighboring farm.Шаблон:Sfn Catton died on 24 April 1819.
