'''Edward Calvert''' (1799 - 1883) was an English engraver and painter.
He was born in Appledore in Devon and, after a spell in the Navy, studied art at Plymouth and the Royal Academy. His early visionary work was greatly inspired by William Blake, and he become a member of the Blake-influenced group known as The Ancients which met at Samuel Palmer's in Shoreham, Kent. In 1844 he visited Greece and his later work (not considered his best) shows a Classical influence.
