Sulman studied at The Working Men's College between 1854 and 1858, where he was a student of, and later an engraver for, Dante Gabriel Rossetti; he was influenced by the positivist thinkers at the college. He became a specialist in using balloons to produce birds-eye views of cities including London, Oxford, Glasgow and New York City. These views, as hand-coloured engravings produced with the help of London engraver Robert Loudan Sr., were featured in The Illustrated London News from the 1860s, and were sometimes produced to a fold-out six foot length. In 1891 he produced high-level views of major London thoroughfares for 's London: Illustrated by Twenty Bird's Eye Views of the Principal Streets engraved by George William Ruffle (1838\u20131901).
