Arthur Radclyffe Dugmore

Arthur Vaux Venner Radclyffe Dugmore (1870–1955) was a Welsh-born American naturalist and wildlife photographer, painter, print-maker and author.

[1] Dugmore designed the cover for Country Life in America three times in 1906 and in 1907 and 1908, his thirteen-part series entitled "The Amateur Photographer" was published in the magazine.

On that voyage Clark produced the first film on African wildlife and brought specimens back for hunters including Theodore Roosevelt and for American museums.

[11] In 1913 Dugmore published his own illustrated book based on this safari, Camera Adventures in the African Wilds about his trip to Kenya.

In 1931 M. Knoedler & Company in Chicago hosted an exhibition of Dugmore's paintings which included studies of animals of Kenya, Canada and Newfoundland.

[14] In 1921 Dugmore visited the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania with Sir Charles Ross and the first Game Laws were introduced there.

He was able to purchase a farm near there after World War I and once he owned property there he "took measures to reduce hunting and protect the animals, many of which were migratory.

[17] Dugmore served in the trenches during the period leading towards the First Battle of the Somme but he became incapacitated and no longer fit for duty after he was gassed.
