There are a number of interesting notes about the German artist Edward  Hildebrandt in Benezit. He was born in Danzig on 9th September 1819. He studied art in Berlin in the atelier of Krause before moving to Paris. He was an indefatigable traveller and in the early 1860s embarked on a painting expedition around the world. As a result of this he held a private exhibition in London in 1866 and another at the Crystal Palace, London in 1868. His work is in the National Gallery and the Royal Collection of Berlin. A series of beautiful chromolithographs of the various places he visited on his world tour were published in Berlin in 1868.
