Cyrus Le Roy Baldridge Art

1889-1977

Cyrus Leroy Baldridge was a noted illustrator, painter, printmaker and writer. At the age of 10, he became the youngest student at Frank Holme’s Chicago School of Illustration. In 1907, he was accepted at the University of Chicago, where he continued his art education and graduated in 1911. Following graduation, Baldridge worked as an illustrator, later becoming a war correspondent on the battlefront during World War I. After the war, he settled in upstate New York and continued to work as a writer and illustrator while traveling the world with his wife Caroline Singer, who was also a writer. The couple traveled from Africa to India and Japan in the 1920s. Japanese art had a profound influence on Baldridge's work, during his time in Japan, he met the famed Shin Hanga print publisher Watanabe Shozaburo in Tokyo. He produced several woodblock prints for Watanabe during the 1920s and 1930s. In 1952, Baldridge and his wife retired to Santa Fe, where he fed his taste for adventure hiking the mountains of New Mexico, painting the landscape in oil and watercolor.

Davis (1840–1894) was published as a supplement of Harper's Weekly, November 19, 1870. The print is presented in a maple frame and a double mat.

"Skating on Ladies' Pond Central Park": Winslow Homer 19th C. Woodcut Engraving

By Winslow Homer

Located in Alamo, CA

This Winslow Homer woodcut engraving entitled "Skating on the Ladies' Skating-Pond in Central Park, New York", was published in Harper's Weekly in the January 28, 1860 edition. It depicts a large number of men, women and children skating on a recently opened pond in Central Park. At the time of publication of this engraving, Central Park was in the early stages of construction. This engraving documents the very early appearance of Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux's masterpiece of landscape design. According to Olmsted, the park was "of great importance as the first real Park made in this century – a democratic development of the highest significance". The people of New York were very proud of the plans for their park. It was stated at the time: "Our Park, which is progressing very satisfactorily under the management of the Commissioners, will undoubtedly be, one of these days, one of the finest place of the kind in the world...Those who saw the Park before the engineers went to work on it are amazed at the beautiful sites which have been contrived with such unpromising materials; all fair persons believe that the enterprise is managed with honesty and good taste." Skating was rapidly rising in national popularity in part due to the opening of Central Park’s lake to skaters on a Sunday in December 1858 with 300 participants. The following Sunday it attracted ten thousand skaters. By Christmas Day, a reported 50,000 people came to the park, most of them to skate. There were rules governing who could use the skating pond. “The Ladies’ Pond...
