$ 950.00
Up for consideration is a Magazine Industrial Illustration of a Boat Yard as dry
docked Sailboats are being prepped and or built on location. It is signed "Jos. L Kraemer" and is done by listed Detroit Artist Joseph L. Kraemer (1872-1938). It is also dated "April 23rd 1923 Detroit Michigan 12 Pages" in the upper right corner and is also marked "Magazine Section Part Six" in the rectangular cartouche in the upper left. It really is quite well done with the typical early 20's palette. Just a great piece in good condition. This may have been an advertisement for marine paint part or a Short story. Likewise that may be the actual industrial skyline in Detroit off Jefferson Ave down along the Detroit River either at the mouth of Lake St. Clair or further down as it winds towards Lake Erie.

The Scarab Club is still functioning today.  According to archives He was noted as illustrating a historical adventure books in the 30's and made contributions to magazines with illustrations and the likewise and a variety of other tasks associated with accomplished illustrators of the time era.

Kraemer that has been hidden away for decades.  Thanks again...please check out my other listings...Free shipping.
