Even more recent sources give 1876 as the year of Everett Shinn's birth Zurier, Snyder, and Mecklenburg, 1995, p. 224 but the artist usually lied about his age to appear younger than he actually was. Edith DeShazo (1974, errata sheet) claimed that information from family members established the date of November 6, 1876 as Shinn's birthday. But if this is true, he would have enrolled at the Spring Garden Institute in Philadelphia to study industrial art at the age of twelve.
