Same publication, day, date (page 4):- "DEATH OF HUGH CAMERON, R.S.A. The death is announced of Mr Hugh Cameron, R.S.A., the oldest member of the Royal Scottish Academy. Mr Cameron was a native of Edinburgh and was born in 1835. He became an apprentice to an architect and a surveyor when he was 14 years of age, and soon after entered the Trustees' Academy, Edinburgh, as student of art under Robert Scott Lauder. After studying in the life class at the Royal Scottish Academy he travelled on the Continent. While a student he made his first appearance as an exhibitor at the Academy with "Joseph Interpreting Pharaoh's Chief Butler's Dream". He was admitted an associate member in 1859, and ten years later was elected to the full membership of the Academy. For many years Mr Cameron's trend was towards portraiture and genre, and his work after the election to the associateship included such pictures as "Responsibility," now in the Kepplestone collection; "Remonstrance," "A Deeside Lassie," "A Cottage Interior," "A Lonely Life," "Age and Infancy," "The Village Life," "Threading the Needle," and "Rummaging." After being raised to the full rank of Academician he produced a number of Italian pictures of great merit, but his inclination had always been in the treatment of the simpler forms of genre. The beautiful in old age and childhood had always appealed to him. Some of his studies in this direction were exquisite. Refinement pervaded throughout, while there was a realism and a naturalness that gave his work great artistic charm. One of his most typical pictures was "The Timid Bather" - the group of child figures, the ripple of the sea, and the warm sunshine composing a perfect design artiste in treatment and pictorially beautiful. Mr Cameron was elected a member of the Royal Society of Water-Colours in 1878. In 1902 when Sir George Reid retired from the presidency of the Academy, Mr Cameron was a candidate for the post, but withdrew, and the honour was bestowed on Sir James Guthrie. Mr Cameron married first Jessie (who died in 1895), daughter of the late Mr Alexander Anderson, manufacturer, Glasgow, and second Mrs Allan (who died in 1905), widow of Alexander Allan, jun., shipowner, Glasgow. He is survived by one son, Hugh, also an artist, who is in the Army, and by three daughters, the eldest of whom is the wife of Professor D. T. Tovey, of the Reid Choir of Music in Edinburgh University."
