About the Item

Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by: Morris Hall Pancoast (1877 – 1963) Born in Salem, New Jersey, Morris Hall Pancoast was a painter, illustrator, and cartoonist. He took night courses at Drexel University and enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under Thomas Anshutz in 1897. He then went to Paris to further his studies at the Académie Julian with Jean Paul Laurens from 1902-1905. While in Paris, he met Minnie Leahy, the woman that would become his wife. Upon his return to the United States, Pancoast settled in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, near the home of his close friend and mentor, Thomas Anshutz. He joined the Art Department of the Philadelphia Inquirer from 1905 until 1907, and then worked as a cartoonist for the Philadelphia North American newspaper from 1907 to 1919. In 1912, he and Minnie were married. By the early 1920s, Pancoast’s painting career was flourishing. His popular impressionist landscapes of Pennsylvania and New England tows were regularly being accepted into major exhibitions around the country, and, in 1924, he was awarded Gold Medal by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Around this time, he and his wife began spending summers in Rockport, Massachusetts, where they would eventually reside full time. He exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; the Philadelphia Sketch Club; the Salmagundi Club; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Brooklyn Museum; the Corcoran Gallery Biennials; the Society of Independent Artists; the National Academy of Design; the Golden Gate Exposition in San Francisco; the Allied Artists of America; the Norfolk Art Museum; the Gloucester Society of Artists; and the Rockport Art Association.

"Dry Dock"

By Henry Bayley Snell

Located in Lambertville, NJ

Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by: Henry Bayley Snell (1858 - 1943) Henry Bayley Snell was born in Richmond, England, on September 29, 1858 and immigrated to the United States at the age of seventeen. He studied at the Art Students League in New York while working for an etching and engraving company where he began a lifelong friendship with fellow artists, William Langson Lathrop. While in New York Snell met another artist, named Florence Francis, also of English descent, whom he would eventually marry in 1888. It is believed that they first came to Bucks County in 1898 to visit the Lathrops at Phillips Mill. Snell was a beloved teacher at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women from 1899 to 1943, and often took his art classes abroad during the summer. He would frequently visit his native England, spending time at the art colony of St. Ives on the coast of Cornwall. Snell would summer in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and Boothbay Harbor, Maine, where he also held painting classes. Almost all the women who exhibited with “The Philadelphia Ten” had studied with Snell either in Philadelphia or New England. Snell also taught on Saturdays at the Grand Central Galleries in New York City. The Snells made many trips to New Hope before settling there permanently in 1925. They lived on the top floor of the Solebury National Bank Building where Henry also maintained a studio. This was located at the foot of the New Hope-Lambertville Bridge and many of Snell’s New Hope scenes were painted from this location. In 1943, Snell passed away in New Hope at the age of eighty-four. Henry Snell earned an international reputation as an artist for his paintings of Cornwall...

Signed lower left, 'Milton W. Holm' (American, 1903-1999) and painted circa 1960. This notable American Impressionist was a long-time member of the Rochester Art Club and served as president of the Genesee Group of Painters. The Genesseeans sought to capture the Spirit of Place in their rendering of regional landscapes, and were dedicated to resisting the incursions of European modernism. Holm later became involved with the Rationalists, who he helped to organize in 1939, also in Rochester, and whose artistic goal was "orderly creation and craftsmanship plus individuality." He remained a central figure in the Rochester art colony and served as president of the Rochester Art Club between 1957 and 1959. Holm exhibited nationally with success including at the National Academy of Design...
