Morris Henry Hobbs (American, 1892 - 1967)
Born in Rockford, Illinois, Hobbs studied illustration at the Art Institute in Chicago. He pursued a career as an architectural draftsman into the 1920s. Hobbs traveled to Europe in 1921, with the U.S. military, losing his hearing in the process. After about 1926, he concentrated on etchings, drypoints, and engravings, notably views of historic architecture and genre scenes. In 1930, the Smithsonian Institution held two exhibitions of his prints. Hobbs moved to New Orleans in 1938, focusing on etchings and engravings depicting the French Quarter.

- "Marriage of St. Margaret and King Malcolm, " Original Etching by A. RuncimanBy Alexander RuncimanLocated in Milwaukee, WI"The Marriage of Saint Margaret and King Malcolm" is an etching by Scottish artist Alexander Runciman. There is an engraved signature with the artist's monogram followed by "pinxit et fecit," indicating that Runciman both designed the original drawing and likely executed the etching on the metal plate. On the left, a young woman with a halo in fine dress stoops slightly and gathers her skirts as she leans over to accept the ring that the man on the right is reaching to place upon her finger. He is also young, dressed finely, and wearing a crown. Between them, a church official with a pointed hat and a long flowing beard recites the appropriate prayers for the occasion, while onlookers crowd in the background. The tiled floor demonstrates the use of one-point perspective, and the church appears to be in the Gothic style. Art size: 8 3/4" x 7 1/4" Frame size: 26 1/2" x 22 3/8" Alexander Runciman (Edinburgh 15 August 1736 – 4 October 1785 Edinburgh) was a Scottish painter of historical and mythological subjects. He was the elder brother of John Runciman, also a painter. He was born in Edinburgh, and studied at the Foulis Academy, Glasgow, and from 1750 to 1762 he was apprenticed to the landscape painter Robert Norie, later becoming a partner in the Norie family firm. He also worked as a stage painter for the Theatre Royal in Edinburgh. In 1767, he went to Rome, where he spent five years. His brother John accompanied him, but died in Naples in the winter of 1768–69. During Runciman's stay in Italy he became acquainted with other artists such as Henry Fuseli and the sculptor Johan Tobias Sergel...Category
