Edward Duncan (1803–1882) was a skilled British engraver and watercolorist best known for his maritime engravings and landscapes. He frequently collaborated with William John Huggins, engraving his maritime paintings to produce high-quality prints that were widely distributed and appreciated during the 19th century.
While Duncan started his career as an engraver, his talent extended to watercolors, and he became well-known for his marine landscapes and subjects. In 1849, Duncan became a member of the Royal Society of Painters, cementing his reputation as a leading watercolorist. Today, his engravings and watercolors are considered valuable for their artistic and historical significance.
