CREATORS

* James Knight (British)  - artist
James Knight British, active 1850s-1860s

Knight's identity has never been firmly established, but he was possibly James D. Knight, headmaster at the Cheltenham School of Art and a teacher of drawing at the Cheltenham Training College. Presumably an amateur photographer, he was one of the circle of the Llewelyn and Maskelyne families, Welsh relatives of the important British photographer and inventor William Henry Fox Talbot. Knight's views appear among the collections of the family and are characterized by a clear, forceful artistic quality. A member of the Photographic Society, Knight exhibited with them from 1855-59, as well as in Manchester. T.W.F.
