He was highly influenced by the famed western artist Frederic Remington. One of his techniques he described was painting with "Water-Oils", where he floated oil paint on water on paper, and then laid paper over the floating design, which left an abstract affect. Chapman specialized in landscapes, and although he spent most of his life in the East, he traveled extensively in the West, especially Wyoming and Arizona where a frequent subject was the Grand Canyon. In 1938, he spent a month at the Canyon and also painted ranch landscapes and in the Snowy Range of Wyoming. n the 1930s, he was commissioned by the Museum of Natural History in New York to paint a thirty-by-thirty-foot mural of the Grand Canyon as a background for the Puma group exhibit. He camped for several weeks at the rim of the Canyon while he worked on this project."--AskART ; "Alfred Garth Jones (1872-1955) was an English artist and illustrator who worked mainly in woodcut, pen and ink line art drawing and watercolour.

She was interested in art from an early age, and studied drawing and painting in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Decorative Art League, and the Museum of Industrial Art, and at a summer school in Annisquam, Massachusetts. In 1892, Weil obtained a bachelor of arts degree from Bryn Mawr College and almost immediately secured literary positions. Between 1893 and 1896, she read manuscripts for the publisher Macmillan and she served as an editor for Book Review and American Historical Review. Weil acquired her first camera in the winter of 1896-97 and established a portrait studio within a few months. Locating her studio in Philadelphia's main business district, Weil soon became one of the city's most well-known portraitists. She charged the highest fees and avoided the excess retouching that was routine in photographic portraits. Her specialties were children and home and outdoor portraiture. On the latter, she wrote two articles; one made up an entire issue of Photo-Miniature (January 1904) and the other appeared in the May 1906 issue of Country Life in America." -- Christian Peterson ; Decorated cloth binding by Margaret Armstrong, bound in turquoise blue cloth over boards; stamped in gold on front cover and spine; top edge gilt and trimmed. ; Trade edition issued in dark blue cloth ; foxing ; name on front endpaper ; VG.

The story of the Scribner's work, which was important to Hopper, is recounted by Gail Levin: "Fame fostered Hopper's career in illustration. In September 1918, he began to sell to Scribner's, a cut above his usual clients. Walter TIttle claimed credit for the first assignment: 'I succeeded in getting him a bit of work from Scribner's magazine almost by brow-beating my old friend [Joseph Hawley] Chapin [the art editor], insisting that here was a man really too good for him.' Hopper's wife came on the scene to observe: 'Scribner's were wonderful to him, let him go his own gait, careful not to give him things not his kind to do.' His kind: te first story they gave him to read was 'The hearing ear', by Henry Van Dyke, which dealt with heroic rescue in the war. The two drawings, which appeared in the issue of December 1918, added one hundred dollars to Edward's books." ; Dark blue (C183)--calico grain cloth; gilt lettering framed by gold, with red and white lily designs; flower motif repeated on spine in gilt; partially untrimmed ; Trade edition issued in dark blue cloth ; foxing ; name on front endpaper ; scarce Hopper source ; VG.
