CREATORS

* Major Francis Gresley (British)  - artist
Major Francis Gresley British, active 1860s

Little is known of Francis Gresley. He was a member of the Amateur Photographic Association of Great Britain who lived in Bawdly and Leamington in the late 1860s. He showed his work in many of the association's annual exhibitions, winning prizes in 1862, 1863, 1865, and 1868. Gresley is represented in two of the association's albums in a British collection, and published an article in the British Journal of Photography in 1863. His best known works, a pair of prints entitled Sunshine and Shade, suggest a conservative, sentimental approach reminiscent of Oscar G. Rejlander, Henry Peach Robinson, and their school. T.W.F.
