Life
W. F. Wakeman was born in Dublin, 1822. His father was a publisher. A student of George Petrie, Wakeman produced pen and pencil sketches of land features and antiquities while employed as a draughtsman by the Ordnance Survey of Ireland. The works of this period are held by the Royal Irish Academy.[1]
After the closing of the topographical department of the Survey, he took teaching roles at St. Columba's College in County Meath[1] and the Portora Royal and District National Model schools in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh.[2] He eventually abandoned art to pursue his interest in archaeology.[1]
Wakeman died on 15 October 1900, in Coleraine, County Londonderry.[1]
