Title:
A Glimpse of Wyoming.
Description:
A photogravure by Unknown of a print titled “ A Glimpse of Wyoming.” The scene depicts a hill overlooking the Wyoming valley with a town in the distance. This piece was created by Henry Linton.
Henry Linton was a wood engraver that assisted his brother, William James Linton. He worked in Paris from 1844-1851 and eventually moved to an independent firm in London in the 1850s. More works by Henry Linton can be found here on the Metropolitan Museum of Art Website.
The date of the original manuscript by Linton has been ascertained by a comparison with the text it appeared in, Appletons' Journal: A Magazine of General Literature, by D. Appleton & Company. The company was a publishing company founded by Daniel Appleton (December 10, 1785 – March 27, 1849) and originated in America. Daniel Appleton opened a general store that included books, publishing his first book in 1831. The company gradually expanded its publications over all of literature. It issued works by, but not limited to, Herbert Spencer, John Tyndall, Thomas Huxley, Charles Darwin, and others, at reasonable prices.
