The Hudson River Portfolio was landmark in American landscape painting and printmaking. The work was
the result of collaboration between the Dublin born, William Guy Wall and London born, John Hill, who both moved to America
in the early 19th century. The Portfolio's twenty topographical views were
among the first images to celebrate America’s natural beauty. Their
value was immediately recognized by those who wanted to provide goods that
appealed to American sensibilities, and at least two potters used the images on
their blue printed wares. more on this source
