Title:
“Great Bend on Susquehanna”
Description:
This is a photograph of “Great Bend on Susquehanna” originally illustrated by Edward Sampson Henry in 1858. The Susquehanna River is a major river located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States and covers much of Pennsylvania. It stretches 444 miles long, making it the longest river on the East Coast, and the 16th largest river in the United States. The river is made up of two main branches including the North Branch and the West Branch. The river drains 27,500 square miles that includes much of Pennsylvania. The river empties into the northern part of the Chesapeake Bay.
Edward Lamson Henry, also known as E. L. Henry, was born on January 12, 1841 in Charleston, South Carolina. At the young age of seven, his parents died and he went to live with his cousins in New York City. He began to study painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. He went to Paris in 1860, where he studied with Charles Gleyre and Gustave Courbet. This was roughly at the same time as Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Frédéric Bazille, and Alfred Sisley.
