While in the French capital he was encouraged by Thomas Shotter Boys to take up watercolours again.[5] After exhibiting a watercolour of Richmond Hill in the Paris salon of 1831, he was offered a job teaching the family of King Louis Philippe I of France, and for several years gave lessons to the Duc de Nemours and Princess Clémentine,[3] while his own works rapidly gained popularity in England.[5] This was helped by his influence over Francois, prince de Joinville during the turbulence of the July Revolution. Briefly the 'Callow youth' was plunged into a platonic love affair that went unrequited with the darling Princess Clementine.[6] Elected a member of the Old Water-Colour Society, Callow returned to London in 1841 and began to paint larger pictures, moving away from the more "dashing" style of his earlier smaller works.[7] He travelled extensively in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Italy,[8] had a large number of pupils, and enjoyed favour with the royal family.[3] He kept detailed diaries of his early travels, and just before his death, his sight having failed, he dictated an autobiography.[9] In 1855 he moved to Great Missenden, in Buckinghamshire, where he died in 1908.[3] References1. ^National Portrait Gallery, Later Victorian Portraits Catalogue, William Callow, accessed 18 September 2014. 2. ^Addison, Oakes, Lawson and Sladen, p.274. 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|newspaper=The Times|date= 24 Feb 1908|page=7|title=Mr. William Callow}} 4. ^Hargraves, p.184; Macfall, p.63. 5. ^1 2 3 Hargraves, p.184. 6. ^Mallalieu, Vive, Country Life, p.89 7. ^Hargraves, p.184; Macfall, p.64. 8. ^Macfall, p.64. 9. ^Cundall and Callow, p.vi.
