Critical Acclaim
Williams was a lifetime member of the Photographic Society from its inception, and also belonged to the North London Photographic Society, and South London Photographic Society.
He also received medals at the Paris Exposition of 1855, the London International Exhibition of 1862, and from the Photographic Society of London in 1866.
He produced a remarkably high volume of work, yet "it was said that no print ever left his establishment without his personal inspection and approval.” His success allowed him to move his family to Sellers Hall, a large mansion in Barnet.
