About The Cornell Farm
Edward Hicks, having apprenticed to a Pennsylvania coach maker at thirteen, became a minister in 1811. He was torn between his calling as a Quaker minister and his love of painting, worrying that his art kept him from 'the Lord's work.' Hicks precisely identified this subject with a long inscription along the bottom of the canvas: 'An Indian summer view of the Farm & Stock OF JAMES C. CORNELL of Northampton Bucks county Pennsylvania. That took the Premium in the Agricultural society, October the 12, 1848 Painted by E. Hicks in the 69th year of his age.' Though the punctuation and capitalization are inconsistent, the quality of the lettering proves that Edward Hicks was schooled in sign painting. About the Posters
