I would like more info on this painting please . I plan to use it in my book on chicken houses of Delmarva.
Can anyone out there help Joanne.
Hi, Joanne! Do you have a specific topic in mind? For information beyond what the source links above provide have your best bet could be the National Archives in College Park, Maryland, which will have the contract, dates of the various stages of completion for the mural, and images from the development process.
