Angus Peter MacDonall, who came from Saint Louis (studied at the Saint Louis School of Fine Art) he was one of the early group of artists who settled in Westport, Connecticut, to make it a famous art colony. MacDonall was especially popular with fellow illustrators because of his three beautiful daughters who were in great demand as models.

For several years he did a regular double spread illustration of human interest or social commentary for the old Life magazine.
