Label TextStanley Arthurs created this drawing a year before he joined Howard Pyle's 1897 illustration class at Drexel Institute. In 1898 Pyle invited Arthurs to attend his
summer scholarship classes at Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. When Pyle left Drexel to open his own school in Wilmington, Arthurs continued his studies there. His first illustration appeared in Harper’s Weekly in 1902. After Pyle’s death in 1911, Arthurs purchased the Pyle studio and worked in Wilmington for the rest of his career. He became especially well known for illustrations of American history.

Donor Marjorie Virdin (1899-1978) was a Delaware
newspaperwoman, on the staff of the Delaware Coast Press and The Delawarean. She was also active in the
Rehoboth Art League.
