Charles Wheeler Locke Born 1899, Cincinnati Ohio
Died 1983, Garrison New York
Charles Wheeler Locke – painter, illustrator, print maker, and teacher – was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1899. He studied at the Cincinnati Art Academy and later with Joseph Pennell at the Art Students League in New York City. Noticing Locke’s talents, Pennell hired him as his primary assistant before selecting him to succeed him as Instructor of Lithography. Locke held that position between 1922 and 1937.
Beginning in 1925, his lithographs of the docks, wharfs, and streets of New York and Brooklyn gained international recognition. He was a member of the Society of American Etchers, National Academy of Design, American Print Makers, and the Century Club.to

Morning
By Caroline Durieux
Located in New Orleans, LA
Caroline Durieux created the technique (electron print) used in the depiction of "Morning".e. This is only one of 5 impressions. Some have theorized that the image is close to that of the artist's brother, Professor Charles Durieux.
In the electron print technique, radioactive isotopes are mixed with printing ink. A drawing is made and exposed face-to-face to paper coated with a radio-sensitized substance. The paper is then developed and produces an exact image of the original drawing.
“The image is transferred from the radioactive drawing to the sensitized paper by invisible beta rays,” says Dr. Wheeler. “Since beta rays are electrons, we named the process Electron Printing.”
Caroline Durieux (American, 1896 – 1989)
Printmaker, painter, satirist, innovator, social activist, Caroline Durieux was born in New Orleans and was already making sketches by the age of four. Her formal art training was at Newcomb College (1912-1917) and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (1918-1920).
Carl Zigrosser of the Philadelphia Museum of Art encouraged Durieux to try lithography. While living in Mexico, she learned lithography from Emilio Amero...
