Original – Edward Mitchell Bannister (1828 – 1901) was an oil painter of the American Barbizon school. Born in Canada, he spent his adult life in New England in the United States. There, along with his wife Christiana Carteaux Bannister, he was a prominent member of African-American cultural and political communities, such as the Boston abolition movement. Bannister received national recognition after he won a first prize in painting at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition. He was also a founding member of the Providence Art Club and the Rhode Island School of Design.

Reason

A rather nice cabinet card for a notable artist. Rather pleased with this one. The National Public Gallery (U.S.) is quite a good source.
