Regarded as one of the flamboyant characters of the age, who covered everything from the Crimean War to the art of Hogarth, Sala became well-known for his prolixity and self-indulgence. Less familiar is the fact that he had a parallel, albeit limited, career as a painter and graphic artist. — Simon Cooke
