Publications
Dr Helen Scott has written a wonderful book Edwin G. Lucas: An Individual Eye. It's 80 pages long and lavishly illustrated with 59 pictures covering all stages of Edwin's career. It's available to buy from the shop at the City Art Centre, Edinburgh and online from numerous outlets, including the publisher Sansom & Company.
There's also a book The Surrealist Drawings of Edwin G. Lucas, containing full-page reproductions of all the drawings you can see in the Surrealist Drawings gallery. It's written by Alan Lucas and available on amazon.co.uk.
Online, you can view a Story Map featuring Edwin's paintings of mills on the Water of Leith. Each point on the map has a description and a slide show of images, including 12 of Edwin's paintings, historic photos of the mills, and photos of the sites as they are today. It can be viewed on a computer, tablet or smart phone. The web address is https://arcg.is/1Xn5Wj1
