Edward Bosqui (sold)
Edward Bosqui (1832–1917) was a Canadian artist and printer, and patron of the arts based in San Francisco, California. He was born in Montreal and came to California in 1850; his early training is obscure, but he founded the Bosqui Engraving and Printing Company in 1863, to some success until misfortune struck in the destruction of his business by fire in 1893, and of the burning of his home in 1897. Bosqui helped organize the San Francisco Art Association in 1871.
