The set screen originally belongs to famous philanthropist Lily Bishop, whose family was immangrant from England in 1854. Her grandparents were in Cleveland, Ohio, and there her grandfather established multiple business interests that contributed to his amassing a sizeable fortune. Lillian (Patty) H. Huntington, and Edward E. (Ned) Bishop married in 1914 and settled in Bradenton. They made generous and impactful gifts, anonymously when possible, to many of the organizations and institutions in the area today. After Lillian died, most of her collections were given to the museum, and a small part of the collection was on the market. The screen is one of them.

The Spanierman Gallery of American Traditional Art creates an opportunity for collectors and curators in the United States to purchase any selected works through leading figures in the art world.
