Henry Cole is a British Romanticism artist. 17 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Henry Cole put watercolor to paper in 1827–29 to record a single room in his London home. The sheet is titled My room in 18 Stamford Street Blackfriars about AD 1829 and shows furniture, books, and everyday objects. The piece belongs to a moment when artists used watercolor more as a quick diary tool than a grand showpiece. Tap the title to zoom in on the brushstrokes and the inked address scrawled in the corner.
