landscapes and portraits.
“At the age of twelve he emigrated to America with his parents, they
settled in Buffalo where he began painting.
Peele studied in New York and later worked in Albany for two years as
a portrait painter, after which time he then returned to New York and
was elected a member of the National Academy of Design.
About 1851 he went to London, where he remained, except for stays in
Liverpool and the Isle of Man.
Peele exhibited at Suffolk Street with one hundred and sixty-six works
also exhibiting at the Royal Academy between 1852 and 1891 and at the
