Beautiful original watercolor print by Ernest B Walden aka Davis Gray (American 1929-1995) in excellent condition, of the Juniata County Courthouse in Mifflintown, PA. (erected 1875) The College Watercolor Group quickly became a nationally known print supplier and began by following the model developed by Currier & Ives more than a century before. They would make a pen and ink drawing of a building, have it reproduced on watercolor paper as a lithograph, and then have artists hand color paint each picture. One of the artists, E.B. Walden, a graduate of Dartmouth and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, began signing his pictures “Gray”, based on a watercolor hue “Davy’s Gray”. Soon, each artist began using the Gray surname but a different first name. Walden became Davis Gray, with over a dozen other artists taking the last name. From this play on names, the business became known as “Gray’s Watercolors”. Probably 1970s, but undated.

Professionally matted and framed. These watercolor prints were issued in limited numbers. Info sheet about Gray's Watercolors affixed to back.

Condition: Minor wear to frame, but overall, display-ready condition. I wouldn't hesitate to give this as a gift.
