James Morgan Lewin (American, 1836 – 1877)
Lewin was born in Swansea, MA, in 1836. He began his career as an apprentice at the Gorham Company in Providence, RI, learning engraving. At the close of his apprenticeship, he learned to paint photographs and was engaged by Manchester & Chapin, prominent photographers of their time. Lewin later turned his talents to landscape painting.
In 1859 and 1860, he exhibited at the Boston Athenaeum. The Crayon for October 1859 noted that "Jas. M. Lewin, a landscape painter of great popularity here, is spending the summer at Conway, NH, taking sketches of the White Mountains." He was a member of the Providence Art Club. In 1864, Lewin had a studio in Boston, MA. He exhibited at the Boston Art Club during the period 1875 to 1877. Lewin died in 1877, and is buried in Milton, MA.
