Description:
A color print of a bay horse standing in a grassy meadow.
Located at 122 Walnut St. Philadelphia, PA from 1825-1858. Cephas Childs was one of the first print engravers in Philadelphia to turn to lithography. Childs formed the 1829 company Pendleton, Kearny & Childs only to leave in 1830 to start the lithographic firm Childs and Inman with New Yorker Henry Inman. Childs went to Paris to study lithography and brought D.S. Duval back to the US with him. Duval joined head artist George Lehman in 1834 when Childs left the firm Duval and Lehman (Inman had left in 1833).
Henry Inman was an American landscape and portrait painter born in NY in 1801. He moved to New York City for his apprenticeship to John Wesley Jarvis, and in 1825 he cofounded the National Academy of Design, and was named Vice President of the institution. In 1831 he began his partnership with Childs, who reproduced many of Inman’s works, but Inman returned to oil painting in 1833. Inman left for England in 1844.
