| Note: | William Henry Shelton 'W. H. Shelton': A nineteenth century painter, etcher and illustrator, William Henry Shelton is today best remembered for his military art, most specifically his scenes from the American Civil War. W. H. Shelton, in fact, served in a New York State regiment during the conflict and thus his etchings and drawings are based upon actual experiences. He participated as an artillery commander in the Battle of the Wilderness, where he was badly wounded and taken prisoner by the Confederates. |
| As well as producing a number of fine etchings, William Henry Shelton also contributed many illustrations to leading periodicals such as Harper’s during the 1870’s and 1880’s. He was a full member of the New York Etching Club and served as the Librarian for the influential New York arts association, the Salmagundi Club. During his career, W. H. Shelton exhibited at such institutions as the Brooklyn Art Association, the Boston Art Club, the Pennsylvania Academy and at the Art Institute of Chicago. | |
