John Gambril Nicholson

A widely reproduced photograph of Nicholson (right) with Alec Melling, a student to whom he dedicated his second poetry collection, ''A Chaplet of Southernwood'' (1896). John Gambril (Francis) Nicholson (1866–1931) was an English school teacher, poet, and amateur photographer. He was one of the Uranians, a clandestine group of British men who wrote poetry idealizing the beauty and love of adolescent boys. As a school master at various boarding schools in England and Wales, Nicholson formed "passionate friendships" with some of his students, and dedicated much of his poetry to favoured students.
