NOTE

A student of Howard Pyle, Schuyler is best known today for his magazine and book illustrations, but he also executed murals for public schools. Given the subject of the future president's 'humble' beginnings, portrayed in such a noble and romantic way, it is likely the present work was commisioned for such a purpose, both to edify and inspire.
