Clinton Fire Company, No. 41 is a 1826 ink by William H. Tuthill, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a group of men in old-fashioned clothes standing around a decorated wagon. The wagon has "Clinton Fire Company No. 41" written on it, and a man is holding a long pole with a bucket at the end. Behind them, there’s a rocky hill, a river, and a few small buildings in the distance. A horse is hitched to the wagon, and another man sits on it. The title at the top says "Grand Canal Celebration," which hints this might be a parade or a special event. The scene looks like it’s celebrating something important to the town.
