About the Item

Historically speaking, The Original Los Angeles Flower Market has a proud heritage and family history that span nearly an entire century. Inspired by the success of local Japanese-American growers who had established the city's first major flower market in 1912 (the Southern California Flower Market), the organization that would ultimately be known as The Original Los Angeles Flower Market was founded in 1919 as the American Florists' Exchange by a group of 30 enterprising European-American growers. Seeking a more efficient way to sell and distribute their freshly grown, highly perishable flowers to local florists and nurseries, the fledgling American Florists' Exchange set up shop in a garage on Winston Street near Fifth. In 1921, led by Tom Wright, the group officially incorporated themselves as the American Florists' Exchange, Ltd., dba The Los Angeles Flower Market, and subsequently moved their operations to South Wall Street. As L.A.'s two major flower markets grew and prospered in the early 1920s, they both relocated to more spacious quarters"”across the street from each other"”on the 700 block of South Wall Street. The decades that followed brought with them years of innovation and growth, as advances in the areas of horticulture and greenhouse technologies, refrigeration, transportation and communications made the floral industry a truly global enterprise. Over time, as the Los Angeles area's population and real estate prices continued to climb, many growers moved their primary operations to the north, the south or even out of the country to become more cost-efficient"”and cost-competitive"”with the growing wave of imported cut flowers. Through it all, The Original Los Angeles Flower Market has continued to adapt, evolve and to thrive by putting the needs of its loyal customers commercial and retail customers first. Currently, The Original Los Angeles Flower Market's 50 member/vendors offer more than 125 different varieties of cut flowers plus an impressive portfolio of related foliage and floral accessories. :: Painting :: Impressionist :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: No :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: Lower right hand corner :: Watercolor Paper :: Landscape :: Original :: Framed: No

View of Dunoon on the Clyde
Located in Hillsborough, NC
Scottish artist Robert Carrick (1829-1904) is renowned for his landscape and figurative paintings in oil and watercolor. This painting features detailed drawings of figures in the foreground with wagon, and the town and scenery in the background, painted over in watercolor in rich raw umber and red-brown tones in the foreground and blue green tones in the background. Carrick showed promise at a young age, exhibiting his work at the Royal Academy age 16. He was a member of the Royal Institute. This two-toned watercolor work has detailed figures, wagon with hay in the forefront above a view of Dunoon town near Glasgow as it was long ago. Signed by the artist, lower left with an inscription that reads: 'View of Dunoon, Argyllshire drawn by Robert Carrick, Glasgow, for David Allan'. Verso includes a copy of the same inscription. Saltire Gallerie replaced the cracked and dirty plain glass with art glass and added an acid-free paper behind the work. While doing this work we found an art giclee, included with the painting. Presented in a patterned wooden frame with art glass. Dunoon was a thriving town on the river at the time of this work, and later became part of Glasgow. The view from above the town is a popular one, as Saltire Gallerie has another view of Dunoon from above by Scottish artist Patrick Downie...
