Talk:Sir Henry Chamberlain, 2nd Baronet

message: Not clear what this means - RA, ARA or what? He appears to have been a soldier, but this is not mentioned. There is another Sir Henry Chamberlain after him it would seem, as well. Tyrenius 23:40, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I cannot locate any military details but (you asked for a citation) Townend (Burke's) says he was R.A., which I understand to be the standard references abbreviation for the Royal Academy. David Lauder 11:43, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: One soldier reference I chanced upon, which is possibly his son. A rather nice illustration which could be used. It seems RA normally goes after the name as in Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Tyrenius 01:38, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: RA can mean Member of the Royal Academy (as here) or Royal Artillery. - Kittybrewster 08:11, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The wikilink would automatically disambiguate, as in RA. Still perhaps it's best to spell it out. I'm not quite sure of the terminology. Does "member" automatically equate to RA (Royal Academician), as opposed to, for example, ARA (Associate of the Royal Academy), the preceding position? Tyrenius 02:01, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: RA=Royal Acadamecian, FRA=Fellow of the Royal Academy, ARA=Associate of the Royal Academy. - Kittybrewster 05:50, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Henry Chamberlain, Views and costumes of the city and neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from drawings taken by Lieutenant Chamberlain, Royal Artillery, during the years 1819 and 1820, with descriptive explanations (London, 1822). Chamberlain, the son of the British consul-general in Rio, visited Brazil in 1819-20 at the age of 23. His watercolours formed the basis of this famous album of 36 lithographs. Each picture is accompanied by a detailed explanation of the particular subject.
The Lieutenant is the later 2nd Baronet from his age, and he is in the Royal Artillery, which I believe RA may refer to, as I can find no reference to him as a Royal Acadamecian. Drawing was of course also a military skill at the time and not restricted to artists. Tyrenius 05:02, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Excellent research work. Congratulations. I have inserted it into the article. Also, I have today received an email response to my query about his possible membership: Dear David, Sir Henry Chamberlain was not a member of the Royal Academy nor an exhibitor here so we cannot help you with information.
