Who was William Edgar Marshall (1837-1906)? William was born to Scottish parents in New York City in 1837. At a young age he moved to Washington DC, where he earned a living as a watchmaker. He then worked for the US Treasury Department, where he learned to engrave portraits. In 1858 he was given the rare opportunity to work for the American Bank Note Company, where he spent many years and became one of their best engravers! At the age of 21, he went to Paris to become a painter. He returned back to the United States during the Civil War, when news of the assassination of Lincoln brought him home to paint, from photographs and descriptions, a portrait of the martyred President. William set up his New York studio in 1866, which was located at 711 Broadway, near Washington Square. His home became a popular haunt for artist and writers of the day. He had a humorous, engaging personality, while engaging the anecdotes of Emmerson, Longfellow, Dickens, Hawthorne and Holmes. He died at the age of seventy from pneumonia in his studio, which he kept through the years. If you google William Edgar Marshall, you can see some of his paintings and etching that include, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, William McKinley, William Longfellow, and more...
