Quotes:Wimbridge, Edward

Zirkoff, Boris

Wimbridge, Edward. An English architect in New York, who with Miss Rosa Bates accompanied the Founders to India. He was an artist and carved on wood the first cover of The Theosophist in October, 1879. He also etched on copper a portrait of H.P.B. When Miss Bates quarrelled with Emma Coulomb and the Founders, and left them, Mr. Wimbridge went with her. “Since then, a furniture manufacturing business, for which I helped him, along with the late K. N. Seervai, to find the capital, enriched him, but I have never heard that his thirst for spirituality, survived the shock. He made the best furniture in India, however.” (H. S. Olcott in The Theosophist, Vol. XIX, Aug., 1898, p. 703.) He died at Bombay, May 13, 1898.
