Basil Rashley Ede (born 12 February 1931 in Epsom, Surrey) is an English wildlife artist specialising in avian portraiture.
==Early life==
Ede's interest in drawing began early in life.〔Introduction ''Basil Ede's Birds''. Hamlyn Paperbacks 1982〕 As a schoolboy growing up during the Second World War, he filled his exercise books with sketches of military aircraft and unflattering caricatures of his school teachers. He was educated at St John's School, Leatherhead. He later attended Kingston School of Art in Surrey.〔Field Notes and Recollections, ''Wild Birds of America, The Art of Basil Ede''. Abrams 1991〕 However, in 1949, he was called up for compulsory military service in the British Army, becoming a commissioned officer.〔Field Notes and Recollections, ''Wild Birds of America, The Art of Basil Ede''. Abrams 1991〕 On leaving the army in 1951, Ede joined the Merchant Navy, taking a job as a purser on board the Orient Line ship Empire Orwell.〔Field Notes and Recollections, ''Wild Birds of America, The Art of Basil Ede''. Abrams 1991〕 The ship's established route was between Southampton and Japan, via Suez, Columbo, Hong Kong, Singapore and Pusan.〔Field Notes and Recollections, ''Wild Birds of America, The Art of Basil Ede''. Abrams 1991.〕 In addition to these duties, the ship was at this time deployed to help transport British troops and equipment to and from the Korean War. Ede was to become fascinated by the Far East and in particular by its art. This was undoubtedly to have an influence on his later work.〔Field Notes and Recollections, Wild Birds of America, The Art of Basil Ede. Abrams 1991〕 Coming ashore for good, Ede then joined the Cunard line as a young executive. He would spend his spare time painting birds, including designs that he sold to his employers, Cunard, for their first class menu cards on the RMS Queen Elizabeth and RMS Queen Mary.〔Interview with Judith A. Troops, ''Birders World'', August 1989.〕
