- Harry_Fenn abstract "Harry Fenn (1837 Surrey – 1911) was an English-born American illustrator, landscape painter, etcher, and wood engraver. From 1870 to around 1895 he was the most prominent landscape illustrator in the United States.Fenn started as a wood engraver, apprenticing with the Dalziel firm in London, but soon turned to drawing for illustration and watercolor painting. In 1857 he made a trip to the U.S. in order to see the Niagara Falls, and settled in New York where he worked first as a wood engraver. In 1862 he married Marian Tompson of Brooklyn. After an extended wedding trip to England and Italy, where Fenn studied painting, his focused on illustration in New York.He settled in Montclair, New Jersey around 1865. His first highly successful commission was to illustrate Whittier's Snow-Bound published by Boston's Ticknor and Fields in 1867 for the Christmas trade (dated 1868). It's tiny images apparently opened the eyes of many to the artistic possibilities of wood engravings, and it is often referred to as the "first gift book published in America," although this was not the case. Fenn is best known for the engravings he contributed to three massive books published by New York's D. Appleton and Co., filled with wood and steel engravings: Picturesque America(1872–74) edited by William Cullen Bryant, which started as a serial in Appletons' Journal" in 1870; Picturesque Europe (1875-79), and Picturesque Palestine, Sinai and Egypt (1881–84). Other artists contributed to each of these books, but Fenn was the most prolific contributor, and his innovative page designs combining image and text popularized this approach. Fenn and his family lived in England from 1873 to 1881 while Fenn worked on Picturesque Europe and "Picturesque Palestine".'After returning to the U.S. in 1881, Fenn was a sought-after illustrator for the leading illustrator periodicals, Century Magazine, "Harper's Monthly," "Harper's Weekly," and Scribner's. He was called upon to illustrate landscape throughout the world and the U.S. as well as depictions of architecture and plant life, and as the technologies for printing illustrations changed, Fenn adapted—producing ink drawings for reproduction as process line cuts and later watercolors for reproduction as halftones. He also contributed to numerous books of poetry: An edition of Gray's Elegy in a Country Churchyard published by Roberts Brothers in 1884 was stamped "Harry Fenn Edition" on the front cover. He was also the sole illustrator of an edition of Tennyson's "In Memoriam" published by Fords, Howard and Hulbert in 1897, in a very different style for his earlier designs for poetry.Throughout his career Fenn prepared watercolors for exhibition and sale. He was among the founding members of the American Watercolor Society, attending the second meeting in 1867, and he regularly participated in their exhibitions. He was a member of the New York Watercolor Club, the Society of Illustrators, the Salmagundi Club. He exhibited at the National Academy of Design in 1864 and at the Brooklyn Art Association between 1864 and 1885. He exhibited at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876 and at the Columbian Expo in Chicago in 1893, where he was awarded a medal. Fenn died in Montclair, N.J. in 1911.Fenn's works reached a wide audience and popularized publications with illustrations, expanding the field for other artists. As Sue Rainey says in her book "Creating a World on Paper: Harry Fenn's Career in Art": Fenn's dynamic and appealing compositions set a high standard. They built pride in America's scenic landscapes and urban centers, informed a curious, increasingly cosmopolitan public about foreign lands, and fostered an appreciation of printed pictures as artworks accessible to a growing middle class" (p. 1).".
