Edward Duncan was a versatile and talented artist who left an indelible mark on the art world with his captivating works. One of his notable pieces is "Black Joke engaging the Spanish Slave Brig El Almirante, " painted in 1830. This painting depicts a dramatic scene at sea, showcasing Duncan's ability to capture intense moments. In contrast, "A Town on an Estuary at Low Tide" showcases Duncan's mastery of landscape painting. Created in 1868, this piece beautifully captures the tranquility and serenity of a coastal town during low tide. The attention to detail and use of light make this artwork truly mesmerizing. Duncan's collaboration with John & Charles Watkins resulted in another stunning work from the 1860s. Although not much information is available about this particular piece, it undoubtedly reflects Duncan's artistic flair and creativity. The London and Croydon Railway also served as inspiration for Edward Duncan. In his depiction of New Cross, Deptford in London from 1839, he skillfully portrays the bustling atmosphere surrounding this transportation hub during that era.

This architectural gem finds its place among his diverse body of work. Duncan had a keen eye for capturing everyday life as well; one example being "Billingsgate: First Day of Oysters.
