James Charles Armytage
"James Charles Armytage" was an engraver and printmaker. He regularly engraved drawings by John Ruskin for publication in Ruskin’s books, who regularly praised and thanked Armytage for his "consummate skill and patience" in carrying out the work for him, and described his works as "lovely" and "magnificent".
It is interesting to note that no other record of "James Charles Armytage" exists. Armytage appears only as "J. C. Armytage" in works and the name may have been mistaken for John Carr Armytage, a landscape engraver (1802-1897).
