James A Stevens 01 - Public domain image of a steam boat
Summary
James A. Stevens, Hudson River steamboat 1857, later served in Florida on the St. Johns River under the name Louise. Oil on canvas by James Bard.
Born in New York City, eight years after Robert Fulton sent the first steamboat up the Hudson River, James Bard saw and reflected in his marine paintings the industrial development of shipping in America. He and his twin brother John Bard together painted more than 350 marine portraits, steamships and sailboats in the New York Harbor and on the Hudson River. Likely James did the outline sketches, and John filled in the color and backgrounds.
