Edwin Thomas Dolby is an Impressionism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Edwin Thomas Dolby made detailed prints about a real 1854 war in the Baltic Sea. These prints show British, French, and Russian soldiers landing, prisoners boarding ships, and cannons blasting a fort’s stone walls at Bomarsund. The prints feel almost like photos because Dolby captured real places and people caught in the middle of a fight. Tap any of these three prints to see how one artist turned a battlefield into a big, busy picture.
