Henry Duff Linton, a talented artist of the 19th century, captured various scenes with his brush and pen. In "Asses Drinking, " he humorously depicted these humble creatures indulging in their own version of happy hour. Linton's work often showcased rivalry, as seen in "The Goddess of Discord in the Garden of the Hesperides, " where chaos ensues amidst beautiful surroundings. His art transcended borders, as shown in "En Angleterre: Pauvre Jenny. , " a poignant illustration from Le Journal Illustre that tugs at our heartstrings. Linton also ventured into landscapes, skillfully capturing natural wonders like Southwest Pass and Goshen Pass in 1872. With Clifton Forge and Sugar-Loaf Rock (East Side), he transported viewers to breathtaking vistas that inspire awe. The artist's ability to evoke emotions is evident in "The Lover's Leap - Approach By Night, " where anticipation mingles with fear on a moonlit night. In his exploration of nature's marvels, Linton took us above the Natural Bridge and allowed us to witness its grandeur firsthand. He also found beauty closer to home; The New-Haven Elms stand tall and proud under his artistic gaze, not just an illustrator but a storyteller who brought life to each stroke of his brush or pen. Through his works, we are reminded of the power art holds – it can make us laugh at asses drinking or ponder upon rivalries among gods while appreciating the majesty of nature or finding solace within familiar landscapes like New Haven's elms.
