Francis E. Jamieson (British, 1895 - 1950) was an English painter who, after a holiday to the Highlands of Scotland, became obsessed with painting highland landscapes and became one of the most prolific artists of his time. Jamieson is believed to have painted under eleven different artist names so he could sell more of his paintings undetected by his employers. His noms de plume included William Richards, J McGregor, Graham Williams, Henry Stewart, Aubrey Ramus, Stanley Penn, A de Perrin and others.
