Biography: Colonel John Moale, an amateur artist, was a prominent merchant and landholder of Baltimore, who held many public offices. He served as the Presiding Justice of the Baltimore County Court and was a member of the Maryland Assembly. During the Revolution, he was colonel of the Baltimore Town Militia. His wash drawing in the print collection at the Maryland Historical Society entitled "Baltimore Town" is referred to by scholar J. Hall Pleasants as the 'most important, as well as the earliest, pictorial record of Baltimore Town." He also notes its importance as the basis of a number of engravings that add elements and details to the drawing composition originally made by John Moale.
Selected References: Pleasants, J.Hall. Two Hundred and Fifty Years of Painting in Maryland (Baltimore: Baltimore Museum of Art), 1945.
