Edwin Whitefield (September 22, 1816 – December 26, 1892) was a landscapeartist who is best known for his lithographed views of North American cities and for a number of illustrated books on colonial homes in New England.[1]
Whitefield visited a series of North American cities, where he published books reproducing the paintings he made there.[3] His collections were published by subscription. The cities he visited included Brooklyn (1845), Toronto (1851), Quebec City (1852), Montreal (1853-1854), Hamilton, Ontario (1854), Ithaca, New York (1855), Jamestown (1882), and Boston (1889).
In 1856, after visiting Minnesota, he made it his home, using landscapes to help persuade those seeking land to let him play a role in their purchases.[3]
