About the Item
Ohio-born Walter DuBois Richards (1907-2006) was educated at the Cleveland School of Art. He re-located to New York around 1933 where he had a successful career as a commercial artist. He was married to Glenora Case, a specialist in miniature painting. They lived in Connecticut.
His finely honed images match incredible craftsmanship with an insider's view of the locale or scene he's portraying. Not surprising then that he made designed thirty-seven stamps for the US Postal Service and two World War II posters.
Here the finesse of his carving skill is fully apparent. To me this has always been a wood engraving. But now I see that while the Chicago Art Institute and I agree, the Philadelphia Museum of Art believes it to be a linocut.
It is signed and titled in pencil.

'Lobsterman's Wharf, Maine' original lithograph signed by "Zsissly" Albright
By Malvin Marr Albright
Located in Milwaukee, WI
'Lobsterman's Wharf, Maine' is an original lithograph signed by Malvin Marr "Zsissly" Albright. While Malvin Marr – along with his better-known identical twin Ivan Albright – was known for his meticulous and unsettling magic realist compositions, he and his brother were also prolific in capturing landscapes of the coast of Maine where the two spent several consecutive summers away from Chicago over their lives. Sometimes these Maine landscapes and views would be painterly and seemingly antithetical to the careful realism of his other work; but in this example, however, the wharf is treated with the same macabre decay as his human subjects. In the composition, the shack...
