Neville Henry Cayley
Neville Henry Penniston Cayley (b. 29 May 1854 - ?) was an Australian painter who contributed greatly to public awareness of Australian birds through his meticulous and attractive watercolours of iconic species.
Cayley was born in Norwich, Norfolk, England on 29 May 1854; his parents were Nathaniel Henry Caley and Emily Dunn. Neville Cayley and his brother, William Herbert Stillingfleet Caley, migrated to Australia in 1877 and changed their surname to Cayley.
Cayley was the father of Neville William Cayley, the noted ornithologist and bird artist. He always signed his paintings "Neville Cayley" whereas his son signed as "Neville W Cayley".[1]
