Painter and draughtsman, magazine and book illustrator and writer, famous for his sporting, particularly fox- and stag-hunting, and military subjects. Edwards studied with the painter Arthur Cope and at Frank Calderon’s School of Animal Painting. Edwards reported in Spain for The Graphic in 1910, then served with the Army Remount Service during World War I. Thereafter he became a favourite contributor to sporting and other magazines, such as Punch, and began to be known for his illustrations to several dozen books with horsing and country themes. He was the author, mostly on hunting subjects, of more than a dozen books. His Reminiscences of a Sporting Artist appeared in 1948. For a time he was a member of the London Sketch Club. Edwards knew his subjects at first hand, as he hunted with 91 packs of foxhounds and at the age of 80 was still jumping gates.
