This is fantastic original signed lithograph by famous American artist Gordon Hope Grant (1875-1962). Gordon Grant was born in 1875 in San Francisco. When he wasthirteen, his parents sent him to Scotland, their homeland, to school. The seavoyage around Cape Horn made a lasting impression on the boy, and ships and sailors have been the chief interest in his life and art. After graduation he started an apprenticeship in one of the large shipyards on the Clyde River, but was offered a position as the art editor of a London magazine, which he accepted. His work as an illustrator in San Francisco for the Examiner allowed time for development of his printmaking. Later he moved to New York where he was an illustrator for one or more newspapers. In 1925 he was briefly in California to exhibit, and to spend three months sketching at sea between San Francisco and Alaska. Art News Magazine reported his return to New York in June of 1925. His specialty was clipper ships in port and at sea. Prints by the artist are found in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art; Metropolitan Museum of Art; Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha; Library of Congress; Museum of New Mexico, Santa Fe and the U.S. Naval Academy Museum, Annapolis. Work measures: 10 x 12 inches. Sheet size: 11 1/2 x 15 3/4 inches. Medium: lithograph. Printed in Rives paper. Creation
