Himself." The three Artists, Randolph Caldecott, Walter Crane, and Kate Greenaway, thoroughly understood the possibilities and limitations of Evans's process, and worked in simple bold lines and flat washes of deco- rative colour, which enabled Evans to produce almost in facsimile. In 1864 Evans married Mary Spence Brown, a niece of Birket Foster, and went to live at the Surrey village of Witley, which was the home of such interesting Artists and Authors as George Eliot, Birket Foster, Charles Keene, and others. From 1851 to 1892 Edmund Evans was producing Colour Prints from Wood-cut blocks, but the great distinction between Baxter and Evans to bear in mind is, that the latter was merely the Colour Printer, Edmund Evans 121 producing other Artists' work; while Baxter was both the Artist and the Colour Printer. Evans, owing to ill-health, retired from business in 1892 in favour of his two sons, Edmund Wilfrid and Herbert, and spent the remainder of his days at Ventnor, where he passed away on the 2ist August, 1905, being buried in Ventnor Cemetery. A fairly representative collection of Evans's Colour Prints can be collected from the following books : Ida Pfeiffer's "Travels in the Holy Land" (1852) Birket Foster. Ida Pfeiffer's "Voyage Round the World" (1852) Birket Foster. Duncan's History of Russia (1854). "Sabbath BeUs, Chimed by the Poets" (1856) Birket Foster. "The Poems of Oliver Goldsmith" (Wilmott's edition, 1858) Birket Foster. "Common Objects of the Sea Shore" (1858-60) W. S. Coleman. "Common Objects of the Country" (1858-60) W. S. Coleman.
