Sala was born in London; his father being the son of an Italian who came to London to arrange ballets at the theatres, and his mother an actress and teacher of singing. He was at school at Paris from 1839 to 1842, and learnt drawing in London, and in his earlier years he did odd-jobs in scene-painting and book illustration. The connection of his mother and elder brother with the theatre gave him useful introductions to authors and artists.
