[13][14] In 1855 he exhibited at No.43 Tremont Row, Boston, "a collection of about 75 landscapes and other original compositions ... all finished by him during the last few years.

Other early lithographic artists in Boston included Francis Alexander, D.C. Johnston, William Hoogland, and J.R.

[16] Edwards also drew for Annin, Smith and Co's Lithography,[17] and "the Senefelder Lithographic Co. in 1830, along with artists Hazen Morse and John Chorley.

"[18] Prints historian Frank Weitenkampf writes "Thomas Edwards, of Boston, was one of the first to draw in the crayon manner, and in portraits such as the one of James Tilton, M.D., the hesitation, the want of familiarity with the new medium is quite apparent.

"[19] In the late 1820s he contributed to the plate illustrations that appeared occasionally in the Boston-based weekly Bower of Taste.
