James S. King

James S. King was an artist whose documented professional activity centered on the production of prints and engravings during a narrow window between 1885 and 1888. The known body of his work suggests a specialization in genre scenes and illustrative landscapes created during the late 19th century.

Five of King's prints are preserved in museum collections, establishing the provenance and preservation of his output. His work is represented at institutions including the National Gallery of Art, validating the historical interest and ensuring access to these artifacts. The documented prints include the narrative works Young Anglers, Those Evening Bells, and The Gleaners. Other pieces, such as Untitled (Crossing A Brook In The Woods) and Untitled (Love Me, Love Me Not), further demonstrate King’s proficiency in depicting figurative scenes and natural settings suitable for reproduction.

Although the full scope of his artistic career is not documented, these verified James S. King prints provide valuable insight into the graphic arts trends of the era. Due to their age, these historical works are now generally in the public domain, often available as high-quality prints or downloadable artwork for researchers and collectors.
