Blight (John Thomas), 1835-85 (?) 
J. T. Blight, the eldest son of Robert Blight, was born at 
Redruth, October 27, 1835. He was educated under his 
father at Penzance, and was self-taught in the art of wood- 
engraving. He became P.8. A. 1865, and received a donation 
from the Royal Bounty Fund in December 1878 (cf. Boase 
and Courtney, Bibliotheca Cornubiensis , vol. iii.). The date 
of his death is uncertain. 
He can hardly be described as an ornithological writer, 
his share in the ornithology of the undermentioned work 
consisting of the thirteen woodcuts which appear at pp. 29, 
31, 49, 53, 54, 64, 90, 91, 99, 142, 155, 169, and 174. These, 
as we are informed p. 29, he executed from specimens in the 
collection of E. H. Rodd, the well-known Cornish naturalist, 
who also supplied the bird matter in the text. Bhght was 
a very voluminous author and book illustrator. In the 
British Museum there is a copy of An Appeal for Subscriptions 
for the Support of Mr. Blight , by William Bolitho, printed in 
1883.
