When the peas sprouted, an island eventually emerged. Ergo, the legend of how Pea Patch Island came into existence between Delaware City, Del., and Salem County, N.J. Habitation on the island remained relegated to migratory birds until the early 19th century. As it grew in size, government officials recognized the potential…

His work was considered as an aesthetic movement. The piece of work by Leighton, May Sartoris (c.1860) where it depicts who was Adelaide’s daughter suggests and reflects the nature of Adelaide’s personal circumstances, and it fits the description as a Victorian portraiture during its time.
