For the next few years, up until 1900, he was to travel to and from Europe, both for study and in the course of his work for The Century. During the remainder of his life, he stayed in the U.S., dying in Canterbury, New Hampshire.

At the age of 14 he went to work at a major Cleveland lithographic firm and drew in the evenings with the Cleveland Sketch Club. In 1885 he joined a New York lithography house and took evening courses at the Art Students League. By 1889 he abandoned lithographic work for good and went to Paris for three years where he studied painting under Lefebvre, Constant and Gerome. Upon his return to New York he joined the staff of the Century, for whom he illustrated stories by Mark Twain and other notables. He was able to travel frequently between New York and Europe owing to assignments for the Century until about 1900. As a fine artist he painted landscapes, often featuring elegant clusters of prominent trees, as in the present work. He died in Canterbury, New Hampshire.
