Frederick Timpson l'Ons (85), SA painter of the early life in the Eastern Cape, died in Grahamstown. He was born in Islington, Middlesex, England on 15 November 1802 and, accompanied by his wife, moved to the Cape Colony in 1834. They settled in the district of Albany, Eastern Cape, shortly before the sixth Frontier War broke out. His works portrayed life on the frontier and included portraits of the Khoikhoi and Africans as well as landscapes.
