Biographical History
James Eights (1798-1882) was a topographical and scientific draftsman who spent much of his life in Albany, NY. Besides his work as a scientific artist for the Erie Canal geographical surveys, Eights was best known for his watercolor depictions of Albany, NY as it was in 1805-1807. Since Eights was less than 10 years old in 1805, he based his works on drawings rendered by other artists. Many of Eights' watercolors were published as lithographs between 1847-1854.
