The son of a painter and engraver, William Callow was apprenticed to Theodore Fielding at the age of 11. He spent much of his time between the years of 1829 and 1841 in Paris, and was strongly influenced by the work of Richard Parkes Bonnington and Thomas Shotter Boys. Callow accompanied Boys on many sketching expeditions, taking Bonnington's place following his untimely death in 1828. His elaborately coloured, clearly constructed views of continental towns and seascapes satisfied the popular Victorian taste for travel imagery.
