compared to the extensive information about American artists.
 Born at Bellvue, Mallow, into a prominent Cork family of nurserymen
(his brother William Baylor Hartland in particular was well-known
among Cork business circles), Henry Albert Hartland studied at the
Cork School of Art. He found employment supplying sketches of the
local landscape to a Cork bookseller, and printing scenery for the
Cork Theatre and the Theatre Royal in Dublin.
He left Ireland circa
1870, settling at first in London and shortly after in Liverpool,
where he spent the rest of his life. His talents there were soon
recognized and he sold paintings almost as fast as he painted them.
He made return trips to Ireland, painting in Mayo, Clare, and along
the River Shannon.
In 1865 he sent five landscapes to the Royal Hibernian Academy* and
from then was an occasional contributor. He also exhibited in London
with the Society of Artists, the Grosvenor Gallery, the New Watercolour
Society, and the Royal Academy*.
He died in 1893 after falling from a cliff
outside of Liverpool. His work was included in the Guildhall Exhibition
of Irish Art in London in 1904, and may now be seen in the Walker
Gallery, Liverpool, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
