Edson was considered one of Canada's foremost landscape painters of his day. The author also details the art societies and artists with whom Edson associated. He was a founding member of the Society of Canadian Artists in Montreal in 1867, and in 1880 he became one of the founding members of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.
