Aspiring Ohio artist Edward Parker Hayden produced this illustration for Scribner & Co when he was 22 years old and a recent newcomer to New York City. He studied there at the Art Students League and with landscape painter William Lamb Picknell who soon pointed him in the direction of his native Massachusetts. Picknell was a brilliant early plein-air master, known particularly for the clarity of his light, the same clarity that dominates Hayden's works. By the early 1880s, Hayden began exhibiting at the Salmagundi Club in New York, where he was a member, and by 1890, he was living and painting in Cummington, Massachusetts. In 1889, he began exhibiting at the National Academy, which he did through 1897. He later exhibited at the Boston Art Club, the Philadelphia Art Club, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and the Society of American Artists.
