This nostalgic piece evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times while highlighting the charm and elegance that once characterized small-town America. "The 45 A. M.

It immortalizes the bustling train station during the Civil War era, capturing both the excitement and apprehension felt by travelers at that time.

Henry's artistic prowess extends beyond landscapes; he also excelled at depicting scenes along waterways such as "Scene along Delaware and Hudson Canal" from 1907. Through skillful brushstrokes on panel, he brings to life an idyllic canal scene filled with boats gliding peacefully through calm waters. With "On the Towpath, " an oil painting on canvas composition, Edward Lamson Henry takes us back to witness workers laboring alongside canals—a testament to their dedication despite challenging conditions—an homage to the unsung heroes of industrial America.
