| Commentary: | This was painted originally for “The Treasure of St. Albans,” a story written by the artist for Harpers. There is evidence in the daybooks that Schoonover planned to use the image as an illustration for “The Tide” which was to have been published in Colliers. Neither of these stories nor the illustration was ever published. The sketch, #690s, was given to J. Thompson Brown when he purchased the painting. |
