Straightforward William Warwick Topham was born in London, England, in 1838 and kicked the bucket in 1924. He was an English sort and picture painter who worked in oil and watercolor. He contemplated craftsmanship at the Royal Academy and in Paris at the Atelier Gleyre. By age 25, he was consistently exhibiting at the Royal Academy and was chosen as R.I. in 1879. Today he is addressed in a few public assortments.
