William Fosdick born 1858 in Charlestown, Masssachusetts learned about pyrography, when still a boy, thanks to two 'poker-paintings' by Ball Hughes acquired by his father.

In 1884, he interrupted his studies in Paris to take his first commission for the American architectural firm of McKim, Mead, and White.
