New Associates of the Royal Academy: Mr. W. F. Woodington, A.R.A., 1876. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Fradelle and Marshall. 'From childhood he was directed to observe the beauties of nature in the surrounding country, and this, with frequent opportunities of seeing good drawings by painters of repute, combined to give him a taste for the fine arts. In 1815 he came to London, and, after two or three years of preliminary teaching, was articled to Mr. Robert W. Serviers, then eminent as an engraver. About four years later, however, the master became a sculptor, and the pupils, of course, followed his direction in their studies. At the expiration of the term of his indentures Mr. Woodington began his professional career...To the Royal Academy Exhibitions he commenced to contribute a series of ideal works, always marked by a sense of beauty and grace and imaginative feeling'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
