He received two Royal Commissions from Queen Victoria, titled “The Landing of the Prince Regent at Dover”, and “The Review of the Fleet at Spithead”, both of which remain in the British Royal Collection. Other works by the artist are in the permanent collections of the British Parliamentary Collection & The British Maritime Museum.
William Adolphus Knell Snr. exhibited works at The British Institution (B.I.) from 1825-1867, and The Royal Academy (R.A.) & The Society of British Artists (S.A.) from 1825-1866.
