About the Item
Edmund Darch Lewis (American, 1835–1910)
Atlantic City Beach Scene with Elephant, 1884
Watercolor on grey paper, 8 x 18 1/2 inches(sight); Framed: 16 x 26 inches
This view of the beach near Atlantic City features Lucy the Elephant, a six-story-tall novelty building originally constructed in 1881 as a real estate sales tool in what is now Margate NJ. It is a National Historic Landmark which has been used as a restauraunt, a tavern and a cottage. It is the oldest surviving roadside attraction in the US.
Edmund Darch Lewis was born in Philadelphia, the son of a prominent businessman. According to family tradition, he was educated at a private school and studied painting with the German-born landscapist Paul Weber (1823–1916). He first exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1854, where he was elected an associate in 1859 and a full academician in 1862. He never married and lived a comfortable existence with his parents until he was fifty. Late in his career Lewis lost interest in oil painting, and the quality of his work in that medium declined. This work is typical of the artist's late phase, when he worked almost exclusively in watercolor for his own pleasure.
