Daniel Fowler

[2][3] The son of Daniel Fowler and Mary Ann Pope, he was born in Camberwell and grew up in the village of Downe.

He returned to London, resuming teaching and painting; Fowler exhibited his work at the Society of British Artists and the Royal Academy of Arts.

In London, he attended exhibitions at the Royal Academy and visited old acquaintances, and saw the rise of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood whose ideal of being truthful to nature appealed to him.

[2] Fowler also contributed articles to various periodicals including The Week, Chambers’s Journal, All the Year Round and the Canadian Monthly and National Review.

[2] A historical plaque was erected by the Ontario Heritage Trust on the site of Fowler's home on Amherst Island.
