Arthur Radclyffe Dugmore (1870-1955) was a Welsh-born pioneering American naturalist and wildlife photographer, painter, print-maker and author.
His photographs were exhibited in London in 1903 at the Royal Photographic Society annual show. In 1905 his work was included in the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition held in Portland, Oregon.
Dugmore travelled to Kenya on photo-safari in 1909-1910, and twice to Newfoundland, in 1907 and 1913.
He worked as a civilian photographer in the early phases of the Great War. He later served as an officer in the trenches and was gassed. He recorded his eye-witness experience in his publication When the Somme Ran Red: The Experiences of an Officer of the King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry During the First World War
The artist wrote and illustrated works including The Vast Sudan, 1924; Camera Adventures in the African Wilds, 1913; The Romance of the Newfoundland Caribou, 1913; and In the Heart of the Northern Forests, published in 1930.
