| Commentary: | In the draft of a letter in 1910 to Mr. Drake, Editor of The Century Magazine Illustrated Monthly Magazine, the artist discusses the choices of either baseball or rowing as the subject matter for Mr. Camp’s story. “I had a long talk with a very good friend of mine who was the stroke oar as captain of the U.P. Schoonover visited the University of Pennsylvania gym on February 22, 23, and 24, to photograph rowers on the rowing machines. He also took photographs and sketched in the University boat house and then spent twenty-eight days completing this illustration and the companion rowing illustration, #411. (day books, archives, correspondence) See related photograph by Schoonover of a rower in the University of Pennsylvania gym. (#410p) |
