Edward Lamson Henry (Charleston, South Carolina, January 12, 1841 - May 9, 1919) was an American genre painter. As a painter of colonial and early American themes and incidents of rural life, he displays a quaint humour. Among his best-known compositions are some of early railroad travel, incidents of stage coach and canal boat journeys, rendered with much detail on a minute scale.
