Frederick William Frohawk

Frederick William Frohawk (16 July 1861 – 10 December 1946) was an English zoological artist and lepidopterist.

He went to school at Norwood College and during this time contracted typhoid leading to near blindness in one eye.

Frohawk was encouraged in his work by Lord Walter Rothschild, who later bought his water-colours of butterflies.

In 1911 he married Mabel Jane Bowman on 4 October at St James, Westminster and they had a third daughter Valezina, named after a form of the silver-washed fritillary.

In 1996, his daughter Valezina, former wife of Vernon Henry St John, 6th Viscount Bolingbroke, inaugurated a commemorative sign marking the "Frohawk Ride" in the New Forest.
