James Tubbs
London, 1835–1921
James Tubbs (1835-1921) was a highly celebrated English bow maker, son and pupil of William Tubbs. He established his independent workshop in London, eventually settling at 94 Wardour Street. Known for his distinctive and original bows, which combined scientific principles with elegant appearance, he was appointed bow maker to the Duke of Edinburgh in 1874 and won prize medals in 1885. His work, branded "JAS TUBBS", was highly regarded for its lightness and balance, and significantly influenced other makers.

E. Hill from approximately 1858, but this relationship soured when Hill was awarded medals at the 1862 exhibition for two of Tubbs' bows entered under Hill's own name and brand. Consequently, whenever Tubbs encountered one of his bows with a Hill brand, he would superimpose his own. He was appointed bow maker to the Duke of Edinburgh in 1874.

At the end of the 1880s, he retired to his home on London Road, Staines, but returned to work in Wardour Street following the death of his son Alfred in 1909.
