John Callow (1822-1878) was an English artist.
Callow was born in 1822. He was taught by his brother, the artist William Callow. He became a member of the New Watercolour Society, and an associate of the Old Watercolour Society. He was a junior professor of drawing at the Royal Military College, Addiscombe from 1855 to 1861.
According to H.M. Vibart, writing in 1894, Callow "never became a favourite of the cadets, for he was a jaundiced, saturnine character with no good-humour or geniality about him." He was master of landscape at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, 1861-1865, and professor at Queen's College, London, 1875-1878.
He painted marine subjects and landscapes, mostly in watercolour. He died in 1878 in New Cross, south-east London.

Why Book Illustration Deserves a Spot Beside Fine Art Paintings
Let’s have a proper look at something that’s always irked me: the idea that book illustration is somehow a lesser art form than fine art painting.
