oil
painting
by
Elmore
,
Ohio
artist
Henry
Dischinger
depicts
a
forest
scene
. The
painting
may
be
Dischinger's
impression
of the
Black
Swamp
, an
area
of
northwestern
Ohio
from the
Maumee
River
to
Fort
Wayne
,
Indiana
that
both
American
Indians
and
white
settlers
avoided
because
of its
knee-deep
mud
and
mosquitoes
.
Settlers
began
draining
the
swamp
and
clearing
the
large
burr
oak
and
American
elm
trees
in the
1840s
and
1850s
. The
process
began
with
clearing
the
trees
, but
it
often
took
years
to
remove
the
stumps
and
dig
ditches
to
drain
the
water
.
Henry
Dischinger
(1841-1917)
started
painting
about
1856
,
when
he
apprenticed
to
Henry
Moore
,
who
owned
a
wagon
and
carriage
shop
in
Elmore
,
Ohio
.
Dischinger
was
responsible
for the
gold
striping
and
leafing
on
Moore's
carriages
. He
later
expanded
and
began
painting
signs
,
homes
, and
stage
scenery
for
local
opera
houses
. In
1908
he
served
as the
inspector
and
general
overseer
in
charge
of
decorating
the
new
Ottawa
County
courthouse
in
Port
Clinton
. The
Ottawa
County
Republican
remarked
, "there
is
probably
not a
more
capable
man
in
Northwest
Ohio
for this
job...He
is
an
artist
of
no
mean
repute.
