Catalogue Note: Born in Auburn, Maine, Scott Leighton (1849-1898) is primarily known for his equine sporting paintings that were reproduced as lithographs by Currier and Ives in the 1880s and made him somewhat of a household name. Some time in the 1890s, however, he appears to have suffered a mental breakdown, leading to his admittance to the MacLean Insane Asylum in Waverly, Massachusetts, where he died in 1898.
