James Priddey, RBSA, PPRBSA, FRSA, (19 April 1916 – 10 November 1980[1]) was an English painter, printmaker, illustrator and member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists.
Towns, villages, rural scenes and some fine Black Country landscapes filled its pages, while a watercolour, very different in style but equally beautiful, graced the dustjacket.
In the 1963 Autumn exhibition at the RBSA, two of Priddley's works were displayed in their own gallery, Mussel Boats at Conway and Trouveau - the Arrester.
