Edward Henry Lewinski Corwin (1885-1953) was a New York City-based physician who worked in the public health sector of the city and state, publishing several reports and other works.
During World War I, in 1917, he published "The Political History of Poland", a 624 page work about the country which had ceased to exist politically in 1795, and which was to be revived as Regency Council Kingdom of Poland (1916–1918) with support from the German Empire and Austria-Hungary. Publisher was the Polish Book Importing Co..
According to TIME, he was in 1930 the "Stoutly Acting Chairman" of a "Committee of Twenty on Street and Outdoor Cleanliness, a group of New York City medicos disgusted with the condition of their city's streets":
"The appellation 'Ash Can Beauty Contest' " said he severely, "is not only facetious but fallacious insomuch as the contest is for a litter basket and not an ash can. . . . The litter basket is to be the receptacle for paper wrappers, newspapers, and other small discarded articles. . . . The purpose of the ash can is well known."
