Looking  again at both the xerox of the original engraving of Giant and the   
reproduction in the Tejada-Flores book, the name at the bottom of  the  
engraving is W. J. Linton with "SC" after the name.  Tejada-Flores  
indicates that  W. C. Bryant was the editor of  the book and shows his name  
on the reproduced title page and  preface. My xeroxed copy of the original  
does not have him on the  title page or the preface?!?!?


Curious -- now that Genean says the above, the name on my copies is clearly  
this "W. J. Linton." Whoever he is! So much for Harry Fenn (and for the 
opinion  of experts). Further research today showed that a whole lot of illustrators 
were  involved in that book, and certainly not just Fenn. Curious, therefore, 
the  statements in "Who Was Who in American Art" that cites this book as 
being Fenn's  [period]. However, in a list of nhumerous names that I found online 
today, this  Linton is NOT among them!
 
Fun.
