William Armstrong (1822-1914) was a Canadian artist and one of the early professional artists of Toronto. A number of his watercolour landscapes of the Great Lakes may be found in collections such as the Art Gallery of Ontario, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Thunder Bay Historical Museum. He painted the watercolour The Arrival of the Prince of Wales at Toronto (1860) which hangs in the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. Armstrong depicted grim working conditions inside Victorian Toronto's industrial plants in his pastel drawing Toronto Rolling Mills (1864), which forms part of the Toronto Public Library's J. Ross Robertson Collection. His watercolour painting, Thunder Cape, Lake Superior (1867), hangs in the National Archives of Canada.[1]
