 William Simpson (1823-1899) -- "Prince of Pictorial Correspondents"
There is a certain irony, therefore, that, in a career spanning over five decades, Simpson's best known work achieved its fame not because of any intrinsic aesthetic or cultural merit, but because its subject has come down in history as one of Britain's great military fiascos.
William was born in Glasgow on 28th October 1823, the son of James Simpson, a dissolute labourer who worked in the shipyards, and Ann (née Johnstone), a gentle woman for whom he always retained great affection.
A sign of the esteem in which Queen Victoria held Simpson as a result of his Crimean sketches was her permission to dedicate the forthcoming book to her, sight unseen.

Although Hirt was moved by historical and archaeological investigations to recover architectural truth in a different set of origins than had customarily been the case, Huebsch urged that German architecture do away altogether with the idea of return to any external set of foundations.
He rejected the continued construction of architectural authority upon a set of deductive movements from an exterior and imagined center, and proposed instead an inductive maneuver from the particular realities of contemporary existence in the native land.
Seeking to focus architectural consciousness in the German landscape, Huebsch's nationalism was conceived foremost as an act of cultural rehabilitation.

 History & styles: Early neo-Gothicism (1823-ca. 1870)
With the Reformation a tradition of several centuries of Gothic architecture ended in the Netherlands.
Early neo-Gothicism was not limited to religious architecture only, much unlike its later namesake, which was a Catholic religious style mostly.
At this time architects lacked any understanding of the fundamentals of medieval Gothic architecture, and thus could do little more than merely be inspired by the ancient style and copy elements from it.
