History
George Edward attended the GSA between 1881 and 1886. His home address was 10 Kelvin Drive, Kelvinside, and his sister Mary Sherwood Edward also studied at GSA.
During his Art school career he won a number of local and National prizes for modelling - '3rd grade' prize in the National competition elementary section in 1882, and 'Commended' in 1886.
The son of a Jeweller, George followed his father into the family business, Edward & Sons Ltd, at 92 Buchanan Street. The firm, which was established in 1838, continued to trade in the city until 1920 when it was absorbed into the Mappin and Webb company.
