Condition
"Founded in 1871 in New York as a sketching class, the Salmagundi became an artists' club which included at some point Frederick Church, George Inness, and Thomas Moran. Twenty-four mugs, provided by the Volkmar Pottery, were decorated every year, and sold at the library dinners to raise funds. The artist, Frank X. Chamberlin, was a New York-based magazine illustrator who did covers for Pearson's Magazine."
