The heat of summer is palpable in this painting of New Castle, PA with the bright sun shining through the trees on the dirt road leading towards the mining buildings to the right. New Castle, PA was a leader in tin plate manufacturing in early 1900s. The painting, along with two others depicting New Castle, was owned by Col. Anthony Biddle, the grandson of Anthony J. Drexel. The artist Miles Jefferson Early (1886-1957) was active in Illinois and is best known for his landscape paintings.
