Curatorial RemarksScribner's first approached Wyeth with this commission in a letter dated July 27, 1914 (Jospeh H. Chapin to NCW, WFA). At that time it was planned for the December issue, and Wyeth was told the illustrations had to be completed by the middle of September.
A portion of this title may occur on the reverse of a Chadds Ford landscape, perhaps indicating that the canvas was reused (see NCW 1331).
