Francis William Topham

Topham also made designs for Fisher, Son & Co.'s edition of the Waverley Novels, some of which he engraved.

He retired, however, in 1847, and in 1848 was elected a member of the (Old) Society of Painters in Watercolours, to which he contributed a Welsh view near Capel Curig, and a subject from the Irish ballad of Rory O'More.

Topham first visited Ireland in 1844 and 1845, with Frederick Goodall and Alfred Fripp.
