# Talk:Laura Knight

I found the Laura Knight quote completely by accident while researching for a biography. I added this comment by Knight not to shed a negative light on her, but because I thought it an unusual but important aspect into her life, thoughts and enviorment of the 1920's.

There is an error in this article. Laura Knight was not the first woman elected to the Royal Academy of Arts. According to various sources, Angelica Kauffman and Mary Moser were the first, and founding, female members of the Royal Academy. No other female members were elected until Annie_Swynnerton was elected in 1922, more than a decade before Laura Knight.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6017:7D:C843:33AE:53BB:9C99 (talk) 20:37, 7 September 2017 (UTC) 

Thanks for bringing this up. Knight was the first woman elected to full membership, but as you say the second elected to associate membership, a few years earlier. I will clarify the article accordingly. --Mirokado (talk) 22:11, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

Great Carmo's Circus merits a link, but it and its creator, Harry Cameron, are overlooked by WP. A lot of material here. Spicemix (talk) 16:25, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
