About the Item

James David Smillie (January 16, 1833 – September 14, 1909), American artist, was born in New York City. His father, James Smillie (1807–1885), a Scottish engraver, emigrated to New York in 1829. James studied with him and in the National Academy of Design; engraved on steel vignettes for bank-notes and some illustrations, notably F. O. C. Darley's pictures for James Fenimore Cooper's novels; was elected an associate of the National Academy in 1865—the year after he first began painting—and an academician in 1876; and was a founder (1866) of the American Water Color Society, of which he was treasurer in 1866–1873 and president in 1873–1878, and of the New York Etching Club. Framed and signed.
