Banco de A. Edwards y Ca. was a private Chilean commercial bank founded by Agustín Edwards Ossandón, one of the most powerful merchant families operating out of Valparaíso in the nineteenth century. Chilean private banking in the 1870s was genuinely competitive — multiple houses issued their own notes — and the Edwards bank was among the more financially substantial of these, with close ties to mining and export trade in the north.

Bradbury, Wilkinson printed for dozens of South American private banks during this period, and their Chilean commissions alone were considerable. The cotton substrate was the firm's standard specification for export work, chosen for durability in coastal and high-humidity environments like Valparaíso's port district.
