- Roger Soame Jenyns (24 April 1904 – 14 October 1976),[1][2][3] who usually wrote his name simply as Soame Jenyns was a British art historian, known as an expert on East Asian ceramics.[3]
The eldest son of Roger William Bulwer Jenyns (1858 – 1936), J.P., of Bottisham Hall, Bottisham, Cambridgeshire, by his wife Winifred Pike, daughter of Arthur Pease, M.P., of Hummersknott, Darlington, Roger Soame Jenyns was educated at Eton and at Magdalene College, Cambridge (B.A. 1926).[4] In 1926 he joined the Hong Kong Civil Service.[5] In Hong Kong, he became one of the valuable contributors to the newly established journal, The Hong Kong Naturalist.[6] His articles would often touch on the cultural role of South China’s animals and plants.[7]
In 1931, Jenyns left Hong Kong for England, to take up a job at the British Museum,[5] where he served as the Assistant Keeper of Oriental Antiquities until 1967.[8][9] In 1935 he published a well-received book on Chinese painting;[6] later on, he authored several books on Chinese ceramics and jades in which he described many items from the museum’s collection.[3]
