William R.I. F.R.G.S. Simpson is a British Romanticism artist. 22 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
William Simpson drew travel scenes in watercolor and pencil during the 1800s. He sketched A Doorway in Cairo in 1884, showing arched doorways and sunlight on stone. His 1855 Sebastopol: View from the Victoria Redoubt records a battlefield view from the Crimean War. Tap his 1879 Buddhist Masonry in Jellalabad Valley to see how he framed ancient carvings with careful lines.
