| Commentary: | Schoonover, a maturing student in 1898, attempted to work out the format for this finished drawing. He experimented with vertical and horizontal formats, until he arrived at the horizontal composition. (Drexel University Museum. Frank E. Schoonover at Drexel: Illustration and the Academic Tradition 1892-1903. Philadelphia, Drexel University: 1986: 46) For further commentary, see #sw27. | |
