His interest in Astronomy dated from 1859 when he built a telescope for himself. He produced "soft-pencil" drawings of Mars in 1877 , which were widely known. Shortly after drawing them, he was the first to suggest that Canals On Mars were an Optical Illusion . In 1880 he was called to Balmoral and taught art to some members of the Royal family including Queen Victoria . He was founding member of the British Astronomical Association (BAA) and its president from 1897 – 1898 . A Crater On Mars was named in his honor. EXTERNAL LINKS Obituaries |
