THE NINETY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
THE .pENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS
FEBRUARY 6, 1905, TO FEBRUARY 5, 1906
Board of Directors presents to the
Stockholders the Report for the closing
year of the first century of the Academy.
In d_ue sequence this is denominated the
Ninety-ninth, the first report of the
Officers having been . made for the year
1806, when the charter of the Institution was obtained.
Doubtless the Founders, who met in Independence Hall in
1805, had but general ideas as to the "vork to be accomplished, but after a hundred years of public service we
may turn with generous admiration to the unselfish efforts
of Charles "Wilson Peale, George Clymer, Joseph Hopkinson, their associates and successors, who have transmitted
to us their traditions and ideals, which to-day it is our
privilege to maintain and carry forward. As the new
century opens we may congratulate ourselves that the
Institution is abler, more vigorous and better equipped for
progressive work than at any time in its history.
At the date of the last Report the One Hundredth Anniversary Exhibition had just opened. On February 23rd,
in celebration and commemoration of the Celltenary of the
Academy, a banquet was given in the galleries on behalf of
the Institution, the Directors personally bearing all charge
and expense, to the descendants of the Founders, the former
Academicians of the Academy, the art critics, the art collectors, and the heads of the art and other institutions of the
United States. The occasion was a notable one and
marked an epoch in the history of American art. At the
9

Ninety-ninth Annual Report
same time, the Gold Medal of Honor was awarded to
William T. Richards, of Philadelphia, for his high accomplishment and for long and in,defatigable service to art, and
also to Violet Oakley, of Philadelphia, for her attainment
as shown in the splendid decorative panels for the new
State Capitol at Harrisburg.
In 1904, a special circular was issued by the Board of
Directors, with announcement as follows:
"At the close of its first hundred years, and with the
opening of its second century, the Pennsylvania Academy
of the Fine Arts propos~s to inaugurate
THE GALLERY OF NATIONAL PORTRAITURE
as a department or section of its general Exhibition. Beginning with the portraits of Washington, Franklin, Morris,
Clymer, Hopkinson, and Madison, and with the works of
West, Stuart, Vanderlyn, Peale, Rush, Inman, and Sully
already in its possession, the Academy aims first to add to
and extend the series of portraits of the founders and
makers of the Republic, of the State of Pennsylvania, and
cof the City of Philadelphia, and of men and women notable
in American literature, science, the arts, and social life. "
In accordance with this, arrangements were made during
the summer, and on November 18th, the first Exhibition of
the Gallery of National Portraiture was opened. About
one hundred and fifty portraits were hung in Galleries A
and B and the Corridors, and these were divided as far
as could be done into four groups of the pre-Revolutionary
period, the period of the Revolution, the period between
1800 and 1850, and the period since then. The exhibition
was ·most successful and attracted attention from all parts
of the country. The display of works by West, Stuart,
Peale, Sully, Inman, and Neagle, was representative and
exceedingly fine, while the subjects were of greatest ,interest. The Portrait Gallery will now be a part of the
Academy's Permanent Exhibition, and the portraits will be

arranged in Gallery B, known as the Gilpin Gallery. It is
hoped that many of the portraits of distinguished men and
women now in private houses will find a resting-place in
this gallery, which will become of far-reaching and very
real interest. In special cases an arrangement may be
made with the Committee on Exhibition for the loan and
deposit, either for a specified time or indefinitely, of family
portraits of especial .interest or distinction. Acceptance
and ' confirmation by the Board of Directors of a portrait
given and transferred to the Academy will provide for its
care and exhibition in perpetuity in the present rooms of
the Institution or in the galleries which may hereafter be
erected.
The list of Life and Annual Members of the Academy .
continues to show some increase in number, and cordial
thanks are due to all subscribers who are thus helping in
the forward work of the Institution. As is well known, the
Museums and Art Institutes of the Country are now largely
supported by the annual subscriptions, and it is hoped that
there may be each year a larger number of contributors,
not only for the material assistance which this brings, but
for the interest in and closer relations to the work of the
Academy which are secured.
As heretofore, the Academy owes much to the large
attention and interest of the public press of Philadelphia and
other cities, and your Board of Directors desires to express
and record its obligation and appreciation.
The Permanent Collections of the Academy have received the following additions:
Portrait of the late John S. Phillips, oil painting by
Mary Wyman Wallace. Purchased by the Academy.

The Board of Directors has pleasure In reporting that,
after an intermission of several years, the relations and
arrangement with the T -Square Club as to the Annual
Exhibitions have been renewed, and will, no doubt, be
continued. The Architectural Exhibition, under the joint
auspices ,a nd control of the T-Square Club and the
Academy, was opened with a reception on December 1st,
and was closed December 23rd. The gallery devoted to
architectural design and mural decoration, the chief
branches of study in the Architectural Department of the
Academy, was a new feature of special interest, and the
exhibition was successful from every point of view.
From April 3rd to April 29th, the Second Philadelphia
Water Color Exhibition, under the joint auspices of the
Academy and the Philadelphia Water Color Club, was held
in the galleries on the north side. The exhibition was a
pronounced success in every way and resulted in the sale

Ninety-ninth Annual Report
During the month of April, Gallery E was devoted to an
exhibition of the work of Elizabeth W. Roberts, to whom
the Academy IS indebted for the enduwment of the Jennie ,
Sesnan Medal.
During the summer months there 'were on exhibition, in
, Gallery H, twenty-six p'aintings, the property of Dr. George
Woodward, representing both f.oreign and American artists.
The collection attracted much favorable comment, and
thanks are due Dr. Woodward for his generosity.

occupied Galleries G, H, and I, from November 16th to
November 30th.
'
From December 26th to January 5th, the Collier Collection of the work of American Illustrators was on exhibition

Ninety-ninth Annual Report
for the Galleries and the Schools. In arranging for the
present One Hundred and First Annual Exhibition, one of
the largest ever held in the Academy, it has been necessary
to remove temporarily all the Permanent Collections of
paintings, with exception of those in the Gibson Galleries,
which can not at any time be disturbed. The need of a
new building, or .additions to the present building, is an
imperative one.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
EDvV ARD H. COATES,
PRESIDENT.

THE NINETY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
THE .pENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS
FEBRUARY 6, 1905, TO FEBRUARY 5, 1906
Board of Directors presents to the
Stockholders the Report for the closing
year of the first century of the Academy.
In d_ue sequence this is denominated the
Ninety-ninth, the first report of the
Officers having been . made for the year
1806, when the charter of the Institution was obtained.
Doubtless the Founders, who met in Independence Hall in
1805, had but general ideas as to the "vork to be accomplished, but after a hundred years of public service we
may turn with generous admiration to the unselfish efforts
of Charles "Wilson Peale, George Clymer, Joseph Hopkinson, their associates and successors, who have transmitted
to us their traditions and ideals, which to-day it is our
privilege to maintain and carry forward. As the new
century opens we may congratulate ourselves that the
Institution is abler, more vigorous and better equipped for
progressive work than at any time in its history.
At the date of the last Report the One Hundredth Anniversary Exhibition had just opened. On February 23rd,
in celebration and commemoration of the Celltenary of the
Academy, a banquet was given in the galleries on behalf of
the Institution, the Directors personally bearing all charge
and expense, to the descendants of the Founders, the former
Academicians of the Academy, the art critics, the art collectors, and the heads of the art and other institutions of the
United States. The occasion was a notable one and
marked an epoch in the history of American art. At the
9

Ninety-ninth Annual Report
same time, the Gold Medal of Honor was awarded to
William T. Richards, of Philadelphia, for his high accomplishment and for long and in,defatigable service to art, and
also to Violet Oakley, of Philadelphia, for her attainment
as shown in the splendid decorative panels for the new
State Capitol at Harrisburg.
In 1904, a special circular was issued by the Board of
Directors, with announcement as follows:
"At the close of its first hundred years, and with the
opening of its second century, the Pennsylvania Academy
of the Fine Arts propos~s to inaugurate
THE GALLERY OF NATIONAL PORTRAITURE
as a department or section of its general Exhibition. Beginning with the portraits of Washington, Franklin, Morris,
Clymer, Hopkinson, and Madison, and with the works of
West, Stuart, Vanderlyn, Peale, Rush, Inman, and Sully
already in its possession, the Academy aims first to add to
and extend the series of portraits of the founders and
makers of the Republic, of the State of Pennsylvania, and
cof the City of Philadelphia, and of men and women notable
in American literature, science, the arts, and social life. "
In accordance with this, arrangements were made during
the summer, and on November 18th, the first Exhibition of
the Gallery of National Portraiture was opened. About
one hundred and fifty portraits were hung in Galleries A
and B and the Corridors, and these were divided as far
as could be done into four groups of the pre-Revolutionary
period, the period of the Revolution, the period between
1800 and 1850, and the period since then. The exhibition
was ·most successful and attracted attention from all parts
of the country. The display of works by West, Stuart,
Peale, Sully, Inman, and Neagle, was representative and
exceedingly fine, while the subjects were of greatest ,interest. The Portrait Gallery will now be a part of the
Academy's Permanent Exhibition, and the portraits will be

arranged in Gallery B, known as the Gilpin Gallery. It is
hoped that many of the portraits of distinguished men and
women now in private houses will find a resting-place in
this gallery, which will become of far-reaching and very
real interest. In special cases an arrangement may be
made with the Committee on Exhibition for the loan and
deposit, either for a specified time or indefinitely, of family
portraits of especial .interest or distinction. Acceptance
and ' confirmation by the Board of Directors of a portrait
given and transferred to the Academy will provide for its
care and exhibition in perpetuity in the present rooms of
the Institution or in the galleries which may hereafter be
erected.
The list of Life and Annual Members of the Academy .
continues to show some increase in number, and cordial
thanks are due to all subscribers who are thus helping in
the forward work of the Institution. As is well known, the
Museums and Art Institutes of the Country are now largely
supported by the annual subscriptions, and it is hoped that
there may be each year a larger number of contributors,
not only for the material assistance which this brings, but
for the interest in and closer relations to the work of the
Academy which are secured.
As heretofore, the Academy owes much to the large
attention and interest of the public press of Philadelphia and
other cities, and your Board of Directors desires to express
and record its obligation and appreciation.
The Permanent Collections of the Academy have received the following additions:
Portrait of the late John S. Phillips, oil painting by
Mary Wyman Wallace. Purchased by the Academy.

The Board of Directors has pleasure In reporting that,
after an intermission of several years, the relations and
arrangement with the T -Square Club as to the Annual
Exhibitions have been renewed, and will, no doubt, be
continued. The Architectural Exhibition, under the joint
auspices ,a nd control of the T-Square Club and the
Academy, was opened with a reception on December 1st,
and was closed December 23rd. The gallery devoted to
architectural design and mural decoration, the chief
branches of study in the Architectural Department of the
Academy, was a new feature of special interest, and the
exhibition was successful from every point of view.
From April 3rd to April 29th, the Second Philadelphia
Water Color Exhibition, under the joint auspices of the
Academy and the Philadelphia Water Color Club, was held

November 30th.
'
From December 26th to January 5th, the Collier Collection of the work of American Illustrators was on exhibition

for the Galleries and the Schools. In arranging for the
present One Hundred and First Annual Exhibition, one of
the largest ever held in the Academy, it has been necessary
to remove temporarily all the Permanent Collections of
paintings, with exception of those in the Gibson Galleries,
which can not at any time be disturbed. The need of a
new building, or .additions to the present building, is an
imperative one.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
