Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Richard H. Malone (1930-1992) graduated from Pennsylvania State University, served as an officer in the United States Navy, and pursued a business career in Maine. During his retirement, Mr. Malone collected paintings by S. P. Rolt Triscott and conducted extensive research on his life, which resulted in the 1979 biographical essay included in this book. In 1983 Mr. Malone was the guest curator for Monhegan: A Century of Art, an exhibition at the William A. Farnsworth Library and Art Museum in Rockland, Maine.
