Germany
Edward Harrison Compton was a German landscape painter and illustrator of English descent.
Like his father he was inspired by the Alps to become a mountain painter (Bergmaler) working in both oils and watercolour. However, an attack of Polio at the age of 28 meant that he had to find more accessible landscapes to paint in Germany, England, northern Italy and Sicily. He also provided illustrations for several travel books published by A & C Black.
