Note:	Frederick Stuart Church 'F. S. Church': A major nineteenth century painter and etcher of figurative and fantasy scenes, Frederick Stuart Church first served as a soldier in the Civil War. He fought in many campaigns and served under General Sherman in his march to the sea. After the conclusion of the war, F. S. Church studied art at the Chicago Academy of Design, the National Academy of Design and at the Art Students League, New York. Frederick Church began his career as an illustrator for Harper's and received his first commissions for painting in 1875. After that point he dedicated himself to both painting and etching. In the latter category he enjoyed much success and some of his etchings were commissioned by the influential Paris publisher, L'Art.
	In many respects Frederick Stuart Church's art of the 1880's serves as a precursor to the American Art Nouveau movement of the 1890's. His fantasy scenes (particularly those dealing with women) exhibit the graceful imagery and long, flowing lines that were to become dominant elements of Art Nouveau.
	F. S. Church was a full member of the American Water Color Society, the New York Etching Club, and the Society of Illustrators. He was elected a full Academician of the National Academy in 1885. Examples of Church's fine art are found in many important collections, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
	The American Art Review. A Journal Devoted to the Practical theory, History, and Archaeology of Art: Inspired by the European etched art of James McNeill Whistler, Charles Meryon, Sir Francis Seymour Haden and others, a large number of American artists became seriously interested in the art of etching by 1875. A primary catalyst to the etching revival in America was the journal, American Art Review (1879-1881). Founded and edited by Sylvester Rosa Koehler it commissioned American artists for original etchings. Contributing etchers included such famous artists as Thomas and Peter Moran, Otto Bacher, J. M. Falconer, Frederick Stuart Church, Robert Swain Gifford, Henry Farrer, Samuel Coleman, Robert Swain Gifford and James D. Smillie.
	Due mostly to its lavish production costs the journal lasted only slightly over two years. The finely printed etchings it produced, however, served as a cornerstone for the many great American etchings of the early twentieth century. The Mermaid was commissioned by the American Art Review in 1880.
