"Harper's Ferry, West Virginia" is a notable 19th-century print by the British artist William Henry Bartlett (1809–1854). Bartlett was renowned for his detailed steel engravings, which often featured landscapes and urban scenes. This particular print depicts the scenic confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers, where the town of Harper's Ferry is nestled among the Appalachian Mountains. The town's strategic location and picturesque setting made it a subject of interest for artists and travelers of the time.

Bartlett's work on Harper's Ferry was part of his larger project to document North American scenery. His travels through the United States and Canada were often commissioned by publishers looking to create illustrated travel books, which were popular in the 19th century. These books served both as travel guides and as a means for armchair travelers to experience distant places through illustrations.

The print showcases Bartlett's skill in capturing the essence of a landscape, with attention to both the grandeur of the natural setting and the human activity within it. The image of Harper's Ferry is historically significant as it provides a visual record of the town prior to the American Civil War, during which it would become an important strategic location.
