On This Day 15 April 1876 the landscape artist Edmund John Niemann died.

His father, a native of Minden in Westphalia, was a member of Lloyd's, and the young Niemann entered that establishment as a clerk at the age of thirteen.

A number of his paintings sre held by the Woverhampton Art Gallery

He died suddenly on Brixton Hill of apoplexy near his home "The Glebe"
​
Many of his works were exhibited at the opening of the Nottingham Museum and Art Galleries in 1878. The Victoria and Albert Museum has a landscape by him, Amongst the Rushes, and four drawings in watercolours. A View on the Thames Near Maidenhead is in the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.
