(b Norwich, 15 Oct 1796; d Norwich, 23 Oct 1874). English painter and printmaker. He first exhibited with the Norwich Society of Artists in 1816 but thereafter relatively infrequently. He became an important figure to Norwich etchers in the 1830s for his able printing of their plates. Ninham also produced many original etchings, the most intimate of which were not published in his lifetime. In his 15 Views of Norwich and Norfolk, executed in the 1830s and published in 1875, Ninham experimented with soft-ground and drypoint, sometimes emulating Rembrandt, sometimes following Joseph Stannard and Edward Thomas Daniell. After the death of John Thirtle he became the leading recorder of contemporary Norwich, painting views such as St Stephen’s Back Street (1843; Norwich, Castle Mus.). His compositions, faithful to detail, often appear in both oil and watercolour versions of delicate colour, sometimes separated by a considerable time span.
