 Excerpts from the exhibition catalogue, American Impressionism, by William Gerdts and the Henry Art Gallery
Both groups were admired, but the Pennsylvania painters more, and they were also seen as "more American." Yet, perhaps because they were a more cohesive group, the Boston school were written about more, as a school and individually, in their own time, and have continued to draw more attention.
The Indiana painters are here studied and presented not only because they constituted a united group of artists working together but also because their art produced a body of critical reaction and acclaim that enunciated a nationalistic aesthetic attitude; the Hoosier artists were seen as consciously attempting to create an American Impressionism.
Wores, a landscape and genre painter in whom interest has greatly increased during the last decade, was one of the first students of the School of Design of the San Francisco Art Association, entering there in 1874 and studying under Virgil Williams, himself a pupil of George Inness.

Although some painters had made lithographs in the 1840s, including Augustus Earle, John Skinner Prout and Conrad Martens, the prints they had produced were still not considered to be serious art.
Lithographic art was championed by Charles Troedel who became the most important printer in Melbourne, a distinction held by the firm for over 100 years.
The only technique used that might be termed 'a new process' was the blending of ink for the tint stone so, for instance, the top is printed in blue for the sky but blends into brown at the bottom to correspond with the colour of buildings.

Ordered that Mr Peter Monamy be admitted upon the livery in consideration of his having presented the Company with a valuable sea peice of his own painting and that the Master return Mr Monamy the thanks of this Court and that Mr Monamy be discharged paying his livery fine and all fees relating thereto".
The evidence for Monamy's close identification and association with the aims and spirit of the Painter Stainers' Company, as apprentice, freeman and liveryman, from 1696 to 1726 could not be more convincingly demonstrated than by the presence of this painting, now hanging at Painters' Hall since 1726.
This is not easel art, for which the painter takes personal credit, but the production of a team of craftsmen.
