William Callow, R.W.S. (Greenwich 1812-1908 Great Missenden)

Callow first visited Venice in 1840, and returned several times until 1882. He notes: 'Our tour in the following year, 1877, was once more to lovely Venice, where I never grew tired of sketching its glorious buildings, and where we we welcomed by our old gondolier, Jacomo’ (W. Callow, William Callow – an Autobiography, 1908, p. 141).
