Interesting Frederick Walker started out as an illustrator for magazines such as 'The Cornhill Magazine'.

Walker the man was not an easy individual, and his life was blighted by the consumption that killed him in his mid thirties. A number of ill-considered articles in the aftermath of his death, speculate that he died as a result of his temperament, when it is far more likely that his behavioural problems resulted from the severity of his illness and short life expectancy. He was fretful, nervous, easily offended, and his pictures were the product of constant analysis, stress, agonising, and meticulous workmanship.
