Biography
(1876-1961)<br /> John Edwin Noble worked as Edwin Noble and studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, Lambeth School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools. Subsequently he became instructor at Calderon&rsquo;s School of Animal Painting and a lecturer on animal drawing and anatomy at the Central and Camberwell Schools of Arts and Crafts.<br /> <br /> Edwin Noble served as a sergeant in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps during World War I, where he was employed as an official war artist, depicting horses and mules in charcoal and watercolour. He seems to have worked exclusively as an animal artist and his characteristically emphatic outline gives his work a strongly decorative quality. Noble was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists and a Fellow of the Zoological Society and exhibited widely from 1898 through 1930 at the Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy and the Fine Art Society.<br />
