The descendants of Charles Jones (1780-1850), of whom there is a wash portrait in the present collection, were gifted in both arts and sciences. His grandson Henry Chapman Jones (1854-1932), lecturer at the Royal College of Science, was a pioneer photographer, who published works on the science and practice of photography, and was an inventor of instruments for the investigation of photographs. His grandson Sydney Langford Jones (1888-1948), sculptor, painter, engraver, book-illustrator and designer of coins, medals and medallions, was connected with members of the Arts and Crafts movements.
