Owen, Edward Pryce (1788–1863), artist and etcher, born on 3 March 1788, was the only son of Hugh Owen (1760–1827), curate of Berwick, Shropshire, and his wife, Harriet, née Jeffreys. He was educated from 1806 at St John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated BA in 1810 and MA in 1816. He was ordained deacon at Lichfield in 1811, and priest in 1812, and from 1811 to 1817 was curate of St Julian's, Shrewsbury. After officiating for some time at Park Street Chapel, Grosvenor Square, London, he became vicar of Wellington and rector of Eyton upon the Wildmoors, Shropshire, which livings he held from 27 February 1823 until 1840. During this period he produced a number of impressive topographical and genre etchings, for which he acquired considerable skill under the tutelage of his father, a noted topographer. He contributed several plates to The History of Shrewsbury (1825), by his father and John Brickdale Blakeway, and he published Etchings of Ancient Buildings in Shrewsbury (1820–21). Owen produced three further volumes of etchings in 1826, 1842, and 1855, all privately printed. On 6 December 1825 he married Mary Darby, the only daughter of Samuel Darby of Colebrookdale, with whom he had two children, Hugh and Mary, and who survived him. He first took up oil painting at the age of fifty, and he completed several hundred landscapes, many taken from the numerous sketches he produced during his tours of France and Belgium, and (in 1840) of Italy, the Levant, Germany, and Switzerland. He exhibited three paintings at the Society (later Royal Society) of British Artists between 1837 and 1840—a landscape, an interior, and A Welsh Cottage. He also exhibited eight works at the British Institution, including The Prodigal. Owen lived for many years at Cheltenham, and in the latter part of his life at Betws Hall, Monmouthshire. He died at Cheltenham on 15 July 1863 and was buried at St James's, Cheltenham.
