Simmons became a pupil of William Finden, the line engraver, but eventually he almost entirely abandoned that style of the art for mezzotinto, in which he attained a high degree of excellence.
Simmons died, after a short illness, at 247 Hampstead Road, London, on 10 June 1882, and was buried in Highgate cemetery.

He died on September 9, 1912 at the age of 69 and is buried in the Evergreen Cemetery in Pembroke, New Hampshire.
