Historical Note

Note

"Camel's Hump - Twilight", like many of E.M. Taber's paintings, was never finished before his death in 1896. "Camel's Hump - Twilight" was displayed posthumously at the St. Botolph Club in Boston in 1898 and at the Art Students League of New York in 1901, as part of two separate memorial exhibitions.
