Frederick Horsman Varley, born in 1881, was first introduced to art by his father, Samuel Varley, a lithographer in Sheffield, England. His father often took his young son outside the city to sketch and enrolled him in the Sheffield School of Art at the age of 11. At 19, Varley continued his education at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Antwerp. He returned to England in 1902 and from 1903 to 1908 settled in London, where he illustrated a variety of novels. Varley married Maud Pinter, in 1910, although neither of their families approved of the match.
