Edwin Dalton Smith

Edwin Dalton Smith is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

English portrait printmaker Edwin Dalton Smith carved crisp, black-and-white likenesses of sitters and stage stars in the 1840s. His prints include a crisp portrait of dancer Marie Taglioni labeled “La Gitana” and a 1 June 1844 sheet from the H Beard Collection. Tap any of these prints to zoom into the sharp lines and crisp signatures that define his small but lively slice of Regency-era portraiture.
