Note:	Orville Houghton Peets 'Orville Peets': A fine American painter and etcher, Orville Houghton Peets first gained recognition as a high school student for his political cartoons published by the Cleveland Leader. One of his cartoons was republished in Britain by the London Daily Mail. It came to the attention of an uncle living there who then offered to pay for Peets's art education. He departed for Paris, France, in 1903 and studied both at the Academie Julien and at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, under such masters as William-Adolph Bouguereau, Leon Bonnat and Marcel Andre Baschet. Peets returned to Cleveland in 1906.
	Orville Peets returned to Paris in 1910 and again in 1912. Shortly thereafter he settled in that city and taught both painting and etching techniques, mainly to visiting American students. One of his students there was Ethel Poyntell Canby, whom he would later marry. He created a portrait in oils of his future wife which received honourable mention at the Paris Salon and which was purchased by the Government of France for the Luxembourg Museum.
	Peets returned to live in the United States shortly after the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. Shortly after the end of the war (1918) he received a commission from the Hispanic Society of America, New York, and he lived and worked in both Portugal and Spain for the following three years.
	Upon his return, Peets settled in Indian River Hundred in the state of Delaware. In the following years he created many fine portraits and landscape compositions. Orville Peets also taught art techniques at the Wilmington Academy of Art for a period of five years.
	Today the etchings, woodcuts and paintings of Orville Houghton Peets are included in such collections as the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Luxembourg Collection, Paris, and the Hispanic Museum, New York.
