For a bank in Edwardsville, 111., he executed a commission for a painting illustrating the treaty between the Indians and Governor Edwards in 1819. A series of murals in Indianapolis made necessary the treatment of not less than 300 life-size figures. Other murals included those for the Springfield, 111., state house; Fort Wayne, court house, and a large Catholic church and First Presbyterian Church in Chicago— besides many public schools throughout the country.
