Edward Francis Finden (1791-1857) was an English line and stipple engraver. Based in London, he mainly worked in collaboration with his older brother, the engraver William Finden (1787-1852). His separate works include a set of etchings for Richard Duppa's 'Miscellaneous Opinions and Observations on the Continent' (1825), and 'Illustrations of the Vaudois in a Series of Views' (1831). He was also a large contributor of illustrations to the annuals, books of beauty and poetry then in vogue. Edward Duncan (1803 - 1882) was a printmaker and landscape watercolourist. Duncan began his career as an engraver of sporting subjects but later abandoned this and became solely a painter and printer of marine pictures. He exhibited at the Royal Academy; the British Institution and the Society of British Artists. He was also a member of the Royal Watercolour Society. |
