Edwin H. Boddington Jr. was born into the famed Victorian era Williams family of landscape painters, also known as the Barnes School.

His work was prolifically exhibited across England, including at the Royal Academy, Suffolk Street and the British Institution, and is included in the collections of the Glasgow Museum, Rotherham Museum, Reading Town Hall and the Ealing Central Library.
