A resident of Boston from 1872 to 1893 according to the Boston Directory, Horace Giles was a crayon portraitist, muralist and scenic painter of backgrounds. In 1876, there is a record of him being in San Francisco as a fresco painter. He did a portrait of Nathaniel Smith Folsom, 1806-1890, which Peter Falk, in "Who Was Who in American Art" mistakenly listed as dates for Horace Giles. The Folsom portrait is in the Dartmouth College Collection.
