Artist
James Lambert senior
James Lambert senior is a Romanticism artist. 14 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
James Lambert senior drew precise sketches of buildings in 1776. His pencil lines map a grand house’s halls, kitchens, and floor plans with everyday dates—“Aug 6th,” “Nov 1st,” “Dec 12th”—as if recording a house under construction. The sheets show walls, bays, and corridors like an architect’s notes. Peek at one titled Interior of kitchen to see where food was prepared.
