William Simpson

Scottish, 1823–1899

William Simpson (1823–1899) è stato un artista britannico e corrispondente di guerra nato a Glasgow. Cresciuto nella povertà e affrontando una vita familiare difficile, iniziò a lavorare come apprendista litografo all'età di quattordici anni e proseguì gli studi attraverso corsi serali. Simpson divenne noto per i suoi schizzi di guerre, scene culturali e architettura in tutto il mondo per l'Illustrated London News e coprì importanti cerimonie statali. Scrisse anche su religioni antiche, usanze e artefatti, guadagnando riconoscimento come etnografo e antiquario.
