Edmund Evans (1826-1905) was born in Southwark, London, England. In 1840, he was apprenticed to wood-engraver Ebenezer Landells. He started a business as a wood-engraver, first on Fleet St., then on Racquet Court and became known as a color engraver. The collection consists of two etchings on steel from drawings by Randolph Caldecott. There are also three prints from the above two etchings, as well as another made by the Camberwell School of Arts in 1986, together with a brief history of these plates.
