Does anyone have any information on this painting? It was supposed to be a calendar for elco around 1916. Maybe it was a catalog cover, too. Have you ever seen it reproduced and where? The artist is William Harnden Foster (1886 - 1941) see http://www.askart.com/askart/artist.aspx?artist=108272 - http://www.askart.com/askart/artist.aspx?artist=108272Thanks

Hello, Very interesting picture, like the contrast with the tall ship in the background, video of Elco factory in WW2 on youtube, not exactly what you want to know but thought you might be interested!,

There's a great site providing extensive coverage of this type at: http://www.subchaser.org/ - http://www.subchaser.org Comprehensive material on the 80' ELCO motor launches of WWI can be found at: http://www.motorlaunchpatrol.net/ - http://www.motorlaunchpatrol.net Thanks for the replies so far. I have been in contact with the links above but so far they have not seen where the painting was reproduced. Hopefully, someone will have seen it. |
