of III" brightest jewels of the American School
Of Artists. He went to New York with the do

Amer painting the portraits Of over one hum

city and Vicinity, he believed lie could do more
good by painting works that should carry .
moral with them. The most Of his works have
been those that illustrated the manners and Gus
