In 1889 he was elected an associate of the Royal Academy, where he exhibited his work in 1901. Wyllie spent much of his time at sea working for the White Star Shipping Line. He also served in the Royal Navy during WWI, painting seascapes and coastal landscapes. His etchings and watercolours showing working life on the Thames and the Medway brought him widespread popularity. Later in his life he played an important role in the restoration of the Victory. Wyllie died on the 6th April 1931 in Hampstead, and scouts from the 1st Portchester Sea Scout Troop, which he had founded, rowed his coffin across Portsmouth Harbour for his burial at Portchester Castle.

[Francis Place?]
[London: John Ogilby, 1669.]
Etching, 17th century watermark. 215 x 305mm (8½ x 12"), with very large margins. Time stained.
Although the 'flying bridge' at Shensi described by Athanasius Kircher, a Jesuit priest, is believed to have been a bamboo suspension bridge, this view shows a conventional stone bridge over a a waterfall. An etching probably by Francis Place, who worked with Wenceslaus Hollar on John Ogilby's 'An Embassy from the East-India Company of the United Provinces', the first English edition of Johan Nieuhof's account of the embassy. However this state, with lettering lower right, was included in Ogilby's edition of Arnoldus Montanus's 'Asia'.

A scene from the Eighth Xhosa War (1850-3), with a column of soldiers attacked by Xhosa spearmen in a narrow ravine. Lieut. Colonel John Fordyce had realised that the regiment's usual scarlet tunics were not suited to African warfare, so issued his men with the olive canvas jackets shown here. He was killed at Waterkloof a month later. The war is now best known for the wreck of HMS Birkenhead in 1852. The new recruits, many destined for the 74th, stood in rank as the women and children escaped in lifeboats, commemorated in the ''Birkenhead drill'' of Rudyard Kipling's poem.
