Edwin Buckman

Born: 1841, UK, England   Died: 1930, UK, England

Painter, illustrator and printmaker. Studied at Birmingham School of Art, Paris and Italy. Began exhibiting in London in 1866. By 1870 he exhibited regularly with the Royal Academy and the Royal Watercolour Society, becoming an ARWS in 1877. In 1869 he was one of the founding members of staff for The Graphic magazine, where his first illustrations were published. His depictions of the lives of the poor in London and the events of the Paris Commune earned him international attention, and it is known that they were admired by Vincent Van Gogh, who collected illustrations from the magazines and wrote about them in his letters
