Nice article overall. Has some browning, age toning, and dinged corners, but overall very nice.
Artist William T. Dannat was profiled in an 1895 article in Munsey’s Magazine. He was “regarded as a hard man to know—somewhat exclusive in his tastes, brusk and rather caustive of speech,” but underneath it all, “those who reach his real personality, find a wit, a fire of genius, and a charm of individuality that makes a day spent in his company long to be remembered.”
He studied art in New York, then spent eight years in Germany studying architecture. At twenty-two, he concentrated on painting, studying under Munkacsy.
