Edward Hull (watercolourist)

Edward Hull (1823 – 3 February 1906) was a British illustrator and watercolourist who exhibited at the Royal Academy in London.

He was employed from 1855 to 1861 by The Illustrated Times, a successful London weekly, and was an illustrator for several books such as Stratford on Avon by Sidney Lee (published around 1890) and The Laureate's Country (a book on Alfred Tennyson) by Alfred J.

Hull represents the many who plied their trade in periodicals and books before the advent of photography in the early 20th century.

Hull was also a wood-engraver as recognised by his inclusion in Rodney Engen's Dictionary of Victorian Wood Engravers (1990).

There is also another Edward Hull who was a furniture maker and shop owner who was a close friend of Augustus Pugin (the designer of much of the interior of the House of Commons).
