Morgan studied at the National Academy of Design in New York while holding a job as a staff artist with the New York Sun. He then spent eleven years with the New York Herald. His greatest fame came during World War I when the American Expeditionary Force chose him to be a combat artist in France. This drawing dates from that period.
