William
Herbert Dunton Materials
from Stan Malcolm
My grandfather, Edward Leon Greene, studied at the Cowles Art School in Boston in 1899 - at the same time as William Herbert Dunton. They seem to have been good friends as my grandfather mentions Dunton in a letter to his fiancee, Dunton gave my grandfather the sketch below, and the autographed photos taken later suggest an on-going correspondence.
Sketch dated 1899. Hunters standing over a steer while in the foreground another hunter appears to be explaining himself to a farmer, presumably the steer's owner. 9.5 x 12"
Two autographed photos given to my grandfather, Edward Leon Greene.
1. "From your old friend Dunton" 7 x 5.5" (including cardstock mount)
2. "To my true friend Greene. W. Herbert Dunton" 5.75 x 8.75" (including cardstock mount)
