"Old Inns" is a series of etchings by Edwin Edwards (1823–1879), an English lawyer turned artist known for his works in watercolor and printmaking. Born in Framlingham, Suffolk, Edwards developed his artistic skills after a successful career in law, eventually becoming a notable figure in the London art scene of the 19th century. His etchings of "Old Inns" capture the charm and historical significance of traditional English inns, which were central to social life and travel during the period.

The series is celebrated for its fine detail and the ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia for the bygone era of coaching inns, which served as important hubs for rest and refreshment for travelers before the advent of the railway. Edwards' work in "Old Inns" reflects his keen interest in the English landscape and architectural heritage, a theme prevalent in much of his art.

Edwards' etchings are characterized by their technical proficiency and artistic sensitivity, often incorporating elements of the picturesque movement. His attention to the play of light and shadow, as well as the accurate depiction of architectural features, makes the "Old Inns" series a valuable record of Victorian England's rural and small-town architecture.

The "Old Inns" etchings were well-received in artistic circles and contributed to the Victorian enthusiasm for preserving England's historical buildings. Today, they are considered an important part of Edwards' oeuvre and are sought after by collectors of Victorian art and etchings. The series not only showcases Edwards' mastery of the etching medium but also serves as a historical document of the English inn tradition, which has since undergone significant changes.

Edwards' legacy as an artist is further cemented by his association with other prominent artists of his time, including James McNeill Whistler and Alphonse Legros, with whom he formed a close friendship. His work in "Old Inns" remains a testament to his artistic talent and his contribution to the preservation of English cultural heritage through art.
