Born in London in 1826, he was educated for a time in Lille, France, before returning to England to study under the lithographer Thomas Fairland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1848 and exhibited regularly in London, including at the Royal Academy, the British Institution and the Society of British Artists. His paintings often drew on poetry, fiction and historical settings.
