David Maitland Armstrong is American Stained Glass Artist, born in Newburg, New York, 1837. First, he studied and practiced law for a short time, and then it soon became obvious to him that the law was wrong choice, and he turned his attention to art.
He studied in Rome and Paris under the best teachers, and divided his time mainly between Italy and New York. For four years he was United States consul-general for Italy, resident at Rome, and was director of the American art department at the Paris exposition of 1878, when he received the decoration of the Legion of Honor.
