William Salter studied under James Northcote in London, 1822–1827, and travelled in Italy, where he established a reputation in Florence and became a member of the Academy of Fine Arts. He returned to London in 1833. He painted the Duke of Wellington on a number of occasions, and his ‘The Waterloo Banquet at Apsley House’, 1839 (The Wellington Collection, Apsley House) was popular as an engraving.
