Peintre de genre, paysages, aquarelliste. Orientaliste. Il était membre du Royal Institute of Painters in Water-Colour, et de la Royal British Academy (cfr. Benezit,VII, p. 749). Dalla prefazione: It was with extreme diffidence that I ventured to undertake the production of a volume upon Burma. I had never been in the country, and possessed only the most superficial knowledge of its history or geography, and I foresaw that the task would prove an exacting one.. The difficulties under which I worked were great: fatiguing journeys through forest and jungle, climatic conditions most unkind to the painter, difficulties of language and health, and, supremest difficulty of all, that of rightly appraising a strange country and a strange people.Fioriture intercalate nel testo, ma certamente un bell'esemplare.‎
