Henry Walton (American painter)

Henry Walton (1804–1865) was an American painter and lithographer active chiefly in Ithaca, New York and California.

He moved to Ithaca before 1836, where he is believed to have been working for a company republishing David Burr's 1829 Atlas of New York State.

He produced both portraits and landscapes including View of Geneva (1837), Henry Clay (1844), Lithographic View of Jefferson (1847) (Jefferson is now Watkins Glen), and oil paintings of Addison (1850) and Painted Post (1851).

[citation needed] In 1851 he joined the California Gold Rush, arriving in San Francisco on the steamer Oregon.

He worked in the Finger Lakes area for a time where he engraved for the Stone and Clark firm.
