Edward Edwin Wombwell

Edward Edwin Wombwell was the second son of Zacharias Wombwell, and accompanied his elder brother, William to the Old Bailey in 1826, there to be acquitted on charges of larceny. As with his brother, this ordeal seems to have had a calming effect. Edward moved to Buckinghamshire, and finally to Newport Pagnell, where he died in 1885. He restored and framed pictures, and painted his own pub signs and landscapes, of which one somewhat forlorn example still exists:

And there, foregrounded in the scene, Edward Edwin, the son after all of a Stoke Newington cowkeeper, chose to insert, somewhat to the detriment of the bridge, one large white cow. Widowed early, he took board and lodging for the rest of his life and seems to have stayed well away from the menageries and from the antics of his younger brother, George.
