Edward Cashin active 1822-26 Little is known about Edward Cashin apart from a contemporary description of him in 1826 as a shy young Irishman. His work is unknown outside the collections of Bristol antiquaries and his earliest drawing, in the style of O'Neill, is of a house in Broad Street in 1822. He made fifty drawings for Braikenridge between 1823 and 1826 but after that nothing is heard of him. Perhaps he died young.

His minutely detailed watercolours have been compared with the 17th-century Dutch artist Jan van der Heyden and are among the most attractive in the Braikenridge Collection. Cashin was fascinated with the texture of cobblestones, crumbling walls and tiled roofs. He delighted in abrupt contrasts of light and shade and often animated his drawings with children playing or small dogs padding through Bristol's streets.
