H. James Knihy
Major General Sir Henry James bol riaditeľom generálneho riaditeľstva Ordnance Survey, britského vládneho mapového úradu, počas dvoch desaťročí. Počas svojej kariéry priniesol do mapovania fotografiu a sám seba označil za objaviteľa procesu známeho ako fotozinkografia. Hoci bol známy svojou excentrickou a egocentrickou povahou, jeho odkaz spočíva v zavedení moderných vedeckých metód do tradičného mapového diela.
