Hi, everyone,
I have a patron looking for any available information about the
following artist. We have already sent a query into the Art Institute
of Chicago, but anything you all might have would be most helpful. This
is the sum total of the information I was given:
"His name was Ambrose McNeil, though it may have been spelled McNeal
occasionally. He was born in 1840 and is believed to have died sometime
after 1896 in Chicago. In 1890-91, he was working as an artist in
Waukesha Village, WI. He also was supposed to have taught at the Art
Institute of Chicago, sometime in the late 1880s or 1890s."
Thanks in advance!
