“Log Fort near New Berne” from the James Wells Champney Sketchbook, ca. 1862

Champney was born in 1843 and died in 1903 in a tragic fall down an elevator shaft at the Camera Club in New York, where he had gone to develop a couple of images.

Champney was a noted painter and illustrator who studied with Edouard Frere and at the Antwerp Academy in 1868.
