| Commentary: | The local newspaper in Trenton, New Jersey in the summer of 1900 reported the following: “General Stryker’s Portrait. Done in Black and White by a Young Trentonian. A handsome painting, in black and white, of Adjutant General William S. Stryker, has just been executed by Frank Schoonover, a son of Colonel Schoonover, the Second Ward Councilman. The painting represents General Stryker astride a handsome black steed, in the wilds of Morris Island, South Carolina. It is an enlargement of an old tintype that was taken in 1863. At the time, General Stryker was a major on the staff of General Gillmore, father of Colonel Gillmore of the Second Regiment. The painting is well done and handsomely framed. Young Schoonover is a pupil of Howard Pyle of Philadelphia.” |
