Giles, James, RSA
1801 – 1870
vide photocopy of typescript from the artist's grandchild E.B.Herdman, 1977-11-01 in the artist's file which dismantles the erroneous inclusion of the middle name William which appears in numerous Art Dictionary references, originally introduced by Algernon Graves in his compiling the List of Exhibitors at the Royal Academy and compounded ever since. The same file contains a certified copy of Giles' birth and baptismal records, which give him as James Giles, and which he submitted to the RSA to prove his claim to an RSA pension.
