Peter Paul Marshall

He worked as a draughtsman for Thomas Grainger, a civil engineer and early Scottish railway builder.

[2] In 1861 Marshall became a founder-shareholder in Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co., "Fine Art Workmen in Painting, Carving, Furniture and the Metals," along with William Morris, Ford Madox Brown, Edward Burne-Jones, Charles Faulkner, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Philip Webb.

[2] Marshall continued his work as a civil engineer during the early years of the partnership.

He resigned his position with the Tottenham Board of Health under pressure following a typhoid outbreak in 1873.

He exhibited several paintings between 1873 and 1875, when Morris, Marshall, Faulkner, & Co. was dissolved, and continued to paint after he accepted the position of City Engineer in Norwich in 1877, a position he held until June 1893 when his health began to fail.
