Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Simpson is widely-known known today as the War Artist whose first-hand depiction of the Crimean War helped bring home the reality of that ill-managed campaign to the British public. His were the surrogate eyes of Empire in many Victorian military adventures, and he reported faithfully and, indeed, sometimes disapprovingly, on what he saw. Simpson was the first of the Victorian "Special Artists" whose primary focus was war, a group that has now yielded place to embedded war correspondents and photographers. But Simpson was more than just a War Artist - his artistic stock in trade encompassed both the military and civil achievements of a world in which the British Empire was at its peak. He was a Scot and proudly independent, and although attendant upon a culture in which jingoism was the dominant paradigm, he had a rare understanding of, and empathy with, many cultures other than his own. As such, he became one of that curious breed of peripatetic Britons who thrived on desolate places and exotic peoples - a breed that included the likes of Sir Richard Burton, Mary Kingsley, David Roberts and David Livingstone. In the process, he acquired a broad knowledge of religion, history, ethnography, archaeology, architecture and linguistics marking him as a true polymath. Simpson has come down in history as one of the chief chroniclers of the Victorian era. His paintings are represented in all the major British galleries and exhibitions, including the Victoria & Albert Museum, the British Museum, and the Glasgow Art Gallery. His notebooks and sketchbooks now reside (among other places) in the India Office Library in London, the Anne S. K. Brown Military Collection (Brown University, Rhode Island, USA), the Edinburgh Library, and the Turnbull Library in Wellington, New Zealand. He was a man of remarkable talent, perseverance, and intelligence, whose place in history is justly secure.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ..."W. Thompson," rudely painted in large white letters. I do not know what made that name popular then. There was a slang phrase current about the time, used to express doubt about any one's words or actions. It was: "It is all very fine, Mr. Thompson; but it won't do here!" This, I presume, was the origin of the "W. Thompson " on the pillar, and of "Billy Thompson" as a name for donkeys. I came on by Malta and Gibraltar to Southampton in the P. and O. steamer Delta. Mr. William Day came down and met me. Prince Albert's death in the previous December caused many to wear mourning, and I recollect being struck by seeing so many people in black. To my eye, after the bright colours of India, the contrast was great, and it seemed to me that the people went about with the appearance of black beetles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Autobiography of William Simpson, R. I: Crimean Simpson In his last years William Simpson occupied the hours of his enforced leisure in writing an account of the memorable circumstances of his life. His career had been eventful and varied far beyond that of most men. He had taken part, as an observer on the spot, in nearly all the great wars and historic events in which his country was interested during a period of forty years. As the earliest of war artists he had gone through the campaign of the Crimea, and this with such distinction as to earn for himself the soubriquet thenceforth of "Crimean Simpson." India after the Mutiny had also been studied and wrought over by him during two years of painstaking travel. Probably no artist before or since has investigated its ancient interests and remote regions with such thoroughness and sympathy. Among his later campaigns he followed Napier to Magdala, and took part in bringing the son of King Theodore home. He went with the Germans to Paris, was arrested as a spy, and passed through the dangerous episodes of the Commune in the French capital. And he took a brilliant part in the Afghan war, was shot at in the Khyber Pass, and by the merest chance escaped assassination with Cavagnari in Cabul.
