| Born in England, Henry Lewis emigrated at age ten to Boston in 1829 with his father and brothers and apprenticed to a carpenter. Seven years later, he and his father moved to St. Louis, Missouri where Henry worked as a carpenter and scenery painter at the St. Louis Theatre. Soon he had a local reputation for the skill of his landscape paintings and also for the inception of a moving panorama, 12 feet high and 1300 feet long, accompanied by an illustrated book of the Mississippi River (showing 500 of 2084 characters). |
