Edward Morton is a Romanticism artist. 6 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Edward Morton kept a tiny printing press under his bed in Paris and ran off hand-colored lithographs at 2 a.m. when his neighbors slept. He turned ballet dancers into mythic clouds—Zephyr the wind god holds Flore like a dandelion gone airborne—because the real stage lights gave him migraines. Slide into *Flore et Zephyr, Ballet Mythologique*; you’ll feel the pink dust of tulle before you read the title, and suddenly all those tutus start to levitate.
