Description

Harry Fenn was one of America's most skilled illustrators in the late 19th century. His work showcased the country's scenic landscapes and urban centers, while also promoting appreciation for printed pictures as artworks. Fenn's career spanned several decades, during which he created illustrations for various publications, including Whittier's Snow-Bound and Picturesque America. He was known for his bold and innovative compositions, which were widely popular among the public. This book documents Fenn's prolific career from the 1860s until his death in 1911. The volume also includes details of Fenn's adventurous sketching trips to Europe, the Middle East, and the western United States, which enhanced his reputation for depicting far-flung places at a time when America was taking on a more prominent role on the world stage.
