Samuel Arlent Edwards (1862–1938) was a British-American printmaker known for his mastery of color mezzotint and aquatint printing, often reproducing 18th and 19th-century portraits. He developed a unique technique of multi-layered color printing, creating soft, painterly effects that closely resembled original paintings by artists like Sir Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough. His works remain highly collectible, and his influence helped revive the mezzotint tradition in both England and the United States.
