He began as a miniature painter on ivory, abandoning the practice as photography grew in popularity. He then turned to architectural draughtsmanship, making sketches of country seats and selling them to the owners. His views of the Thames Embankment (completed 1870) were exhibited at the Royal Academy, as were many of his architectural drawings. Sometime before 1851 he began working for the publishers Day & Son. He made watercolour views and lithographs of the interiors of the Great Exhibition and lithographed William Simpson’s sketches of the Crimean War and the Indian Mutiny for the firm. He reportedly ‘never fully recovered’ from the effect of the failing fortunes of Day & Son, late in his career. Walker died in 1882, aged 68. William Simpson (28 October 1823 - 17 August 1899) was a Scottish artist, war artist and war correspondent. Литография «Бастион Дю-Мат.

Уильям Симпсон(1823-1899) (William Simpson) - шотландский художник-баталист и военный корреспондент. Симпсон прибыл на Крым слишком поздно и пропустил первые битвы Крымской войны, но смог сделать зарисовки событий перед падением Севастополя, а также во время всех ключевых сражений. Еще находясь на фронте, он отослал первые акварели в Лондон, где по ним незамедлительно были сделаны литографии. Всего было исполнено две тысячи копий полного комплекта литографий.
