Auguste Edouart (1789-1861), is regarded as one of the finest and most highly acclaimed silhouette artists of the 19th century. Born in France, he later moved to London in 1814 where he began making wax portraits, then in 1825 he began working solely as a silhouette artist. He later travelled to America, where he worked from approximately 1839 until 1849 making commissioned silhouettes for some of the most prominent families in Boston, New York & Philadelphia, as well as in some major cities in the Southeast.
Further information on Auguste Edourat can be found in Andrew Oliver's book, "Auguste Edouart's Silhouettes of Eminent Americans, 1839-1844".
