Henry Linton
Henry Linton is represented here by a single woodcut, The Sheepshearer, a subject drawn from rural labor and everyday life. The medium places the sheet within the nineteenth-century tradition of reproductive and illustrative printmaking, where wood engraving carried detailed imagery to a wide readership. Beyond this one example, the archive holds no further works by the artist, and the Met records neither life dates nor nationality for him. The collection therefore offers a narrow but concrete point of entry into his graphic output.
