This interesting early depiction of the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere was probably painted as an illustration for Washington Irving. The painting is signed “F. Coburn 99”. The painter, Frederick Simpson Coburn (1871 – 1960) was a famous artist that specialized in illustrations for books. He is known as an Illustrator for the works of Washington Irving. There is a 19th century label on the back records a later owner being Irving Putnam (1852 – 1931). The Putnam and Irving families were very close. Irving Putnam was a namesake for Washington Irving. The piece is framed in a period frame. The canvas is loose from the surrounding frame but could easily be fixed with a nail. Good condition, very dark with a few minor losses on edges. The entire piece measures 22 x 16 inches.
ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING:  THE MIDNIGHT RIDE OF PAUL REVERE.
