Sydney Robert Flemming Jones (SRJ) was born in Warwickshire, Birmingham in1881 and studied at the Birmingham School of Art from 1897-98, 189899 and 1901-02.1 The positioning of his education within history was long after the inception of the picturesque in the 18th century and just before the ‘Townscape’ movement had fully emerged in the 1940s. His contribution to the movement was exhibitions in different places documenting what he saw through the medium of drawing.

He published his own books, which contained his drawings as illustrations and his personal commentary on what he observed, focused on what he was trying to communicate. These works include England in France, The Manor Houses of England, Thames Triumphant, London Triumphant and many others. [Google Books]
