"Where Man Hath Toiled, Time Hath Dignified"
22 1/2" wide x 14" high, oil on oilcoth
D&H Canal in Ellenville, 1890s

 

This painting features a lively scene of the D&H Canal operations in Ellenville.  While residents look on, the locktender in the lower right hand corner announces the oncoming barge, while operating the lock from his gearhouse.  To the left of the Canal, men are hard at work building a new barge.  The signs for many of the shops, featuring local family names, are clearly visible.
