Cameron trained at the Glasgow and Edinburgh Schools of Art in the early 1880s and was at first associated with the Glasgow Boys. He became a leader in the Scottish etching revival, having been encouraged to take up the medium by George Stevenson in 1887. From 1887 to 1892 he was a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers. His first published prints were the Clyde Set (1889; Rinder, 1912, nos 30-49), followed by his London Set (1899; Rinder, 1912, nos 289-301) and a number of continental sets: North Holland, 1892; North Italian, 1894-6; Paris, 1904; Belgian, 1907 (Rinder, 1912, nos 115-36, 202-29, 361-6, 387-96). These show the influence of Seymour Haden, Whistler and Charles Meryon. Cameron's prints include many architectural subjects such as old city streets, and workshop and church interior views such as the Five Sisters, York Minster (1907; Rinder, 1912, no. 397). They moved from a picturesque, illustrative approach in the early works to a highly symbolic use of central shadow or emanating light. Architecture was increasingly treated as expressive in its own right and in several cases this was achieved through a radical reworking which eliminated human forms, as in Rosslyn (1899; Rinder, 1912, no. 303). From Rembrandt, Cameron evolved a style of large tonal masses and, in late prints, virtually abandoned middle tones.
In the twentieth century, Scottish mountain landscape, rendered with strong chiaroscuro, replaced architecture as his chief interest. After Dark Angers (1903; Manchester, City Art Gallery) Cameron's oils adopted brighter light values, encouraged by a trip to Egypt in 1908-9. Paintings introducing increasingly high colour include his Ben Ledi pictures (following from his famous etching of 1911; Rinder, 1912, no. 424) and the Hills of Skye (Glasgow, Art Gallery & Museum). During World War I he was commissioned by the Canadian Government to contribute to its War Record paintings: this resulted in such works as the Garment of War (Edinburgh, City Arts Centre). Cameron held many titles and honours, including election as a member of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1918 and of the Royal Academy in 1920. In later life he supervised the murals for St Stephen's Hall, Palace of Westminster, London, and was closely involved in the development of the British School at Rome. He was knighted in 1924 and appointed King's Painter and Limner in Scotland in 1933.

David Young Cameron
Scottish painter, etcher, and draughtsman, born in Glasgow, the son of a clergyman. He abandoned brief unhappy careers in commerce and law to study at *Glasgow School of Art and the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh. Most of his work consisted of landscapes (especially scenes of mountains) and architectural views, and he is best known for his etchings of buildings, including Gothic churches on the Continent, ”rich and sombre" works with which he established a reputation as one of the outstanding printmakers of the day.

Herman Hyneman (American, 1849-1907)
Untitled, c. 1880
Engraving
Sight: 13 x 8 1/2 in.
Framed: 26 1/2 x 20 1/2 x 3/4 in.
Signed bottom
The following is from Peter Jung who credits "a friend named Jeff Gold on Long Island."
Herman N. Hyneman (1849 - 1907) was born in 1849 to one of the most prominent Jewish families in Philadelphia. Unlike most Jewish families of the time, his embraced and encouraged his artistic talent. In 1874, Hyneman followed his first cousin Moses Ezekiel, National Academy member, to Europe to study. They first went to Germany and then to France where Hyneman began eight years of study with Leon Bonnat, the French Master.
In Paris, the twenty-five year old Hyneman resided in a studio building at 75 Boulevard Clichy, with expatriates Frederic Arthur Bridgeman, Charles Sprague Pearce, Milne Ramsey, and Edwin Blashfield. Hyneman was clearly exposed to the works of these more experienced artists, as well as that of Walter Gay.
In 1879, one of Hyneman's genre paintings, entitled "Desdemona", was accepted into the Paris Salon. That painting received favorable reviews both in Europe, and later in Philadlephia where it was exhibited alongside the works of other Philadelphia Artists exhibiting at the Salon that included Thomas Eakins, Pearce, Edward May...
