Eva Hollyer was born in 1865 in Walworth, South London as Evangeline Grace Ellen Hollyer. She was the first child of a family of 10 of William Perring Hollyer and Grace Emily (née Rooke), who had married in 1864. It was a very artistic family. William Perring Hollyer (1834-1922) himself was a noted artist of animals and is best remembered for his paintings of highland stags, cattle and sheep which were very popular subjects in the latter half of the 19th century. William's father was Joseph Hollyer, a heraldic painter and coachbuilder of Dover who moved with his family to South London in 1851 and then diversified into the then new technology of using acid to etch glass. Several of Joseph's other children became Glass Artists and there were several generations of Hollyers who followed this trade or moved into gold-leaf signwriting. William was however the only son who used his artistic skills in painting.
