Reginald Walpole Craigie 1859-1930 clerk at the Bank of England,
Craigie’s chief interest in photography lay in portraiture at which he
excelled. His work is characterised by the purity and delicacy of his tones.
He was elected a fellow of the RPS in 1895 and a council member in 1898. As a
member of the Linked Ring on its disbandment he joined the group who formed the
London Salon and became its secretary. His first short lived marriage to the famous Anglo-American novelist Pearl Craigie 1867-1906 ended in divorce on the grounds of his violence and adultery.
