Harry Fenn (1845–1911) was an English-born American illustrator, primarily of landscapes.[1]
He settled in Montclair, New Jersey around 1865.[2] Fenn is best known for the engravings he contributed to Picturesque Europe, Picturesque Palestine, Sinai and Egypt (1881-84) and "Picturesque America" (edited by William Cullen Bryant, 1872). He illustrated a number of books as well, including John Greenleaf Whittier's Snowbound (1868) and Ballads of New England (1870). Later in life he also painted some watercolors.
