James Sydney Longhurst was born in Farnham in 1833 and became a dentist. In 1869 he married Phoebe Ellen Willmott, whose portrait is a pair to this one. The couple moved to 38 West Street which is now the Museum of Farnham. The painting is dated 1915, so James would have been 82. He seems quite content in the portrait. William Herbert Allen was for many years the Director of Farnham Art School (now University for the Creative Arts). Allen was strongly influenced by William Morris and was saddened by the rapid urbanisation at the turn of the twentieth century that was changing the face and character of the local landscape. His main legacy is the collection of his paintings, drawings and watercolours depicting the landscape and working people of the Surrey and North Hampshire borders.
