Edward Everett (1818 – 1903) was an Anglo-American artist. Everett was born in London, England on March 13, 1818. His father was American and in 1840 moved to Quincy, Illinois in the United States, as did Edward. By his twenties, Everett had shown considerable aptitude for drawing. It's not known whether or where Everett received formal artistic training, but his landscape sketches resemble the Hudson River School. Despite his skill, Everett considered himself a draftsman and mechanical engineer rather than a fine artist.
