Career
In 1903 Edward VII bought a view of Portsmouth Harbour and this led to other Royal purchases. In 1918 he was fortunate to be present at the surrender of the German Fleet in Scapa Flow, and did sketches of some of the ships before they were scuttled. He also accompanied George VI and Queen Elizabeth as official artist on their Royal Tour of Canada and the USA in 1939. His final years were spent in Perthshire where he died in 1953.
