Follow-up on the New War of 1812 Stamp


(October 28, 2018) Since a couple months ago I have been going back through my blogs from 2013 and 2014 and inserting paragraphs.  From August 2013 to April 2014 I was unable to use paragraphs in my blogs.  I have no idea why this happened.  This is what my blog entries looked like back then.


From Wikipedia. /// (1823-1879) Lived in New York City. Best-known for his painting of the Battle of Lake Erie. One copy is in the Ohio State Capitol building and the other at the U.S. Capitol. He is also famous for a second piece of artwork "The Discovery of the Mississippi by De Soto A.D. 1541." /// Studied under artist Henry Inman in New York City. Received a commission from the U.S. Congress in 1847 to paint the De Soto picture which he completed in 1855. /// This painting was so popular that the Ohio legislature commissioned him to do a painting of Perry's victory. That one was so well-received that the U.S. Congress requested a copy for as stairway on the north side of the Capitol building. This one was larger than the original one and finished in 1873. /// ---Brock-Perry
