Darrow, Titus H. (sold)
Titus H. Darrow (1814 - January 9, 1881) was an American viewmaker and visual artist based in Connecticut. Darrow worked with the Kellogg firm to produce several finely executed lithographs of Connecticut towns. He typically preferred to work from an elevated position rather than render the view from an imaginary perspective. In 1859 he was the Plainville Justus of the Peace and in the 1860s he became treasurer of the town of Plymouth, Connecticut. He died in 1881, leaving his wife, Sarah Jane Camp / Darrow, a widow.

This is an extremely rare 1853 lithograph view of New Haven, Connecticut, as seen from East Rock by Titus H. Darrow and the firm of E. C. Kellogg. The view looks south-southwest on New Haven from East Rock, a local high point. The large buildings of Yale University are evident just left of center. The view reviews a bustling port, with numerous ships and a long pier. Several bridges, including an active railroad bridge, exit New Haven to the east. In the foreground, picnickers on East rock observe the town. (more details)
