This antique American oil on
canvas landscape painting is signed and dated on the back of the canvas:
"Painted by J H Caswell
/ Bridgton 1865"
possibly John Hubbard Caswell
of Bridgton, Maine, born 1833, skilled jeweler and watch seller based at
Caswell's Corner, married to Mary E. Whitney in 1866.
It is apparently a fanciful
landscape, perhaps showing the influence of Thomas Cole- a tall, ragged
mountain from the Voyage of Life in a pastoral, idyllic setting from
the Course of Empire.
