Do you have an
E.L. Henry
painting (wow!) or print? These paintings were often sold as prints,
and many were hand colored by Edward and Frances themselves. Edward's
partner, C.J. Klackner was also responsible for producing a large amount of
the prints that exist.
So far we've found the owners of a large number of E.L. Henry
prints submitted by GLH readers, a dozen pencil drawings, and one (possibly an original)
watercolor from the
owner of an auction gallery! Tell us about YOURS....

being on the left and "Major" on the right. |

"Marcia Passed from the Old Stone Church with the Two Aunts."
SUNDAY MORNING (OLD CHURCH AT BRUYNSWICK) by E.L.. Henry, 1898
Oil on canvas, 34" x 62"
There are two whole pages devoted to this painting's story and history in
my reference book! This is the Reformed Church of Shawangunk in Ulster County, New York and is still standing. Edward painted the church with four columns, but the
real church has five! He said that no church could be built that way,
regardless of the fact that it was, indeed, built that way

one of the "tinted" illustrations from my

Out to Bid Good-Bye
to the Happy Bridegroom
and
Cross-Looking Bride"
AS YET UNIDENTIFIED
Perhaps this is
THE DEPARTURE OF THE BRIDE
By E.L. Henry, 1890
Do you know the name or history of this E.L.. Henry
painting?
This one remains a mystery!

"At Last Word to Start was Given"
THE FIRST RAILWAY TRAIN ON THE MOHAWK AND HUDSON ROAD
by E.L.. Henry, 1893
A 1916 catalog reads
"[Hudson and Mohawk R.R.] Sept. 9th 1831" It sold for $125. Prints by C.
Klackner were sold for $10 plain and $15 colored. I've seen a colored print
in the library at Cragsmoor, New York where E.L.. Henry lived.
 At the bottom
is a model of the first train on the Mohawk and Hudson Railway, from a
display at the New York State Museum.
