Edward Caledon Bruce

Edward Caledon Bruce was an American artist, author, and publisher. Born in Winchester, Virginia, to educated and wealthy parents, he became deaf in his teens due to complications from scarlet fever. It was around this time Bruce began showing an interest in art. A few years later, he studied under Thomas Sully in Philadelphia. Bruce kept a diary in which he wrote "thank God I have my sight yet — all Nature can speak to me through that sense." He married Eliza T. Hubard with whom he had two daughters.
