GENERAL INFORMATION Archibald Willard was an unknown wagon painter in Ohio when he was commissioned in 1876 to sketch a scene for the approaching Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. The result was perhaps America's most famous patriotic painting. Willard's painting now hangs in the Selectman's Room of Abbot Hall in Marblehead, a few hundred yards from Baston's Marblehead studio.
In 1958, Baston began producing panted and bronzed penstands and, in 1959, produced 1,000 penstands for the Marblehead Savings Bank.From The Sebastian Miniature Collection by Dr. Glenn S. Johnson.
