400 APPENDICES 



Eminent Americans (see Bibliography, No. 74), 

 and published by Messrs. Johnson, Fry & Com- 

 pany, New York, 1862. 

 The original of this portrait, which was evidently drawn, 

 with slight changes, from the large painting of the same sub- 

 ject by John Woodhouse Audubon, executed about 1841 (see 

 No. 13), is now in possession of Mr. Ruthven Deane, who has 

 written me that it is done in black and white, like all of Chap- 

 pel's work which was designed for the purposes of steel en- 

 graving, and measures 12 by 17 inches. Concerning this ar- 

 tist, Mr. Arthur Lumley wrote to Mr. Deane on April 26, 1905, 

 as follows: "I knew Chappel in my boyhood days, when he 

 ranked next to Felix O. C. Darley as an illustrator ; at the same 

 time he was a good portrait painter in oil. Chappel, in many 

 ways, was a gifted man, and his historical pictures were fine 

 in composition and color. He held a high rank, and had no 

 occasion to seek orders, having all he could do, and at his own 

 terms ; most of his work was reproduced by steel-plate engrav- 

 ings": Chappel, he adds, who died about 1875, was "a quiet, 

 genial gentleman who was ever ready to help and guide rising- 

 aspirants in the field of art."
