Edward MacDowell, the subject of U.S. #882, was a famous U.S. composer known mainly for his piano pieces and for helping establish an independent American school. The MacDowell Colony was a long-held dream of Edward and his wife Marian – a place where artists could share ideas and inspiration. It was established in 1907, one year before his death.
