James Duffield Harding (1797 - 1863) was a topographer, watercolourist, teacher and lithographer. He was born in Deptford, England. He studied with Samuel Prout and the engraver Charles Pye. Harding preferred drawing to engraving and worked as a landscape artist from an early age, exhibiting at the Royal Academy at the tender age of 13/14 years. He was an extremely talented lithographer and produced folios of works by Stanfield, Roberts and Bonington, for Hullmandel. He travelled to Italy, Normandy and the Rhine in the 1820s, 30s and 40s producing books of his excursions and also issued copy-books for amateur artists. Harding was admired by John Ruskin, his drawing pupil. Ruskin said that, next to Turner, Harding was "unquestionably the greatest master of foliage in Europe".
Harding's work can also be found in the following publications Lithographic Drawing Book, 1832 Art, or The Use of The Lead Pencil, 1834 Principles and Practices of Art, 1845 Lessons on Trees, 1852 Scotland Delineated, 1858 Views in Spain, 1824 Britton's Cathedrals, 1832-6 Sketches at Home and Abroad, 1836 and The Book of South Wales, 1861.
