Original watercolour by J A Shuffrey.
James Allen Shuffrey (1858–1939) was a British Victorian and Edwardian watercolour artist particularly associated with Oxford and Oxfordshire. He was born in 1859 in Wood Green, Witney, Oxfordshire, into an old Wood Green family of blanket weavers and tanners of Huguenot origin. From 1877, Shuffrey worked as a bank clerk for the London County Bank in Abingdon, Arundel and Petersfield. In 1902 he moved to Oxford and took up painting full time. He was among the first members of the British Watercolour Society and became a member of the Oxford Art Society. He is particularly noted for his paintings of nineteenth and early twentieth-century Oxford.
