... literary and historical subjects, exhibiting with the New Water-Colour Society (later the Royal Institute of Painters in Water-Colours) from 1837 to 1898. His style was described as careful, highly coloured and unmodelled, compensated for by direct and simple lighting of figures, and he soon became known for dramatising literary and biblical scenes such as the Canterbury Pilgrims, and for a prize-winning design, The Plague of London (lithograph, 1849, now in the British Museum), submitted for the competition to decorate the new Palace of Westminster. ...literary and historical subjects, exhibiting with the New Water-Colour Society (later the Royal Institute of Painters in Water-Colours) from 1837 to 1898.

Its foundation was a manuscript that became known as the Percy Folio, which Percy discovered in the house of his friend Humphrey Pitt at Shifnal, Shropshire famously found on the floor, with the housemaid using its leaves to light fires. Percy used only forty-five of the folio's ballads in his final book, supplementing them with material from other manuscripts, printed broadsides, and, controversially, some of his own composition or heavy "improvements" of the originals. The three original volumes gather old heroic ballads, songs, romances and historical poetry covering subjects such as border warfare, the supernatural, and the legends of King Arthur and Robin Hood, including famous pieces like 'Chevy Chase' and 'Sir Patrick Spens' a collection of ballads and romances dating from the late medieval period to the seventeenth century, each annotated with Percy's antiquarian commentary.Hard cover book.
