marine painter, son of master mariner John Henry Borstel, had little formal art training before exhibiting his ship portraits in the windows of photographic studios and on board ships. He was employed to paint ships after and for photographs by Frederick Temple West , a Newcastle photographer (c.1895-1901), which were then signed by both parties.
