His drawings impressed with their masterful attention to detail and the interplay of light and shadow. In Germany he married and started a family. His older children were born in Bavaria. Two of his sons later also achieved fame as artists and engravers. His eldest son became an organist and writer.
Brower had trained as an architectural draftsman in Norwich, England, under one of the foremost architectural painters of his day. In addition to drawing lessons, however, he also attended courses in oil painting and was a student at King's College in London, where his father was a professor of literature. After returning from Germany, he gained fame in England mainly for his panoramic paintings and his historical reconstructions. His drawings were published in the important architectural journals of his time. Brewer became a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects. From 1858 he exhibited frequently at the Royal Academy and major galleries in London. He is best known for a series of views of London showing the city at the time of Henry VIII, which later became known as the "Old London illustrated". Bird's eye views of various British cities were also particularly popular. Later, views of cities in mainland Europe were also added.
The royal family also subsequently became aware of the artist and Henry William Brewer received a number of commissions from the royal family. Most notable was an 1869 commission from Queen Victoria, for whom he produced a series of watercolors of her royal mausoleum at Frogmore, the resting place of Albert, the Prince Consort, and herself. The Queen herself appears in some of these paintings.
Great attention was paid to the conversion of Brewer and his family to the Catholic Church. The artist, like his father, belonged to the Oxford Movement. This was influenced by the well-known French architect and artist Augustus Pugin, who was himself a Catholic. His in-depth study of religion and his commitment to the Catholic community then influenced his work, which includes a number of churches in England, Germany, Hungary and Belgium. He is also known to have painted watercolors in a Catholic seminary in England. In addition to his artistic work, Brewer also taught illustration at a college. One particular course was devoted to the depiction of perspectives. Brewer died in 1903. More than a hundred works by Henry William Brewer are now in London's Victoria & Albert Museum. The Royal Collection also owns 26 of his works.
