Norman FSA (1842-1931)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a British artist, author and antiquary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1842 in Bromley Common, Kent, Norman was the son of George Warde Norman (1793-1882), who was a director of the Bank of England, and writer on banking and currency, and brother of Frederick Norman, the merchant banker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorman was educated at Eton College, where he was a notable cricketer, and where, at the age of 17, he won the 120 yards hurdle race in the then record time of 18 seconds. He was later to play one season of first-class cricket in 1865 with the Gentlemen of Kent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorman was trained as a draughtsman and painter in watercolours at the Slade School, often exhibiting at the Royal Academy. A large part of his work consisted of depicting parts of London that he knew, particularly buildings or areas which stood as a survivor of a bygone past or which were about to be demolished. Norman also recorded the history of the buildings which he painted or photographed, and works such as London Vanished and Vanishing, written in 1905, provide a fascinating record of bygone London. The historian Hermione Hobhouse has described Norman as one-third of the \"triumvirate\" of key figures whose works record the topography of London between 1890 and 1950, the others being Walter Hindes Godfrey and Percy Wells Lovell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorman exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition on at least 26 occasions from 1877 to 1926, and also at other galleries in London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorman was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 1886, acting as Treasurer from 1897 to 1913 and Vice-President from 1913 to 1917.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorman gave many of his works to the London Museum. His photographs are now held by the English Heritage Archive, and his watercolour paintings and drawings of London are kept by the Victoria and Albert Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe lived in London, and died on 17 May 1931 in South Kensington at the age of 88.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNorman authored, illustrated or contributed to the following:-\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLondon Signs and Inscriptions, Elliot Stock (1893)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLondon 1910, A.R.
