"Frederick Leo Hunter (1862-1943) The following represents the limited information that we have assembled so far on this artist. His date of birth is occasionally given as 1858; we have relied upon information from the New York Historical Society for the date of 1862. Exhibited at the New York Etching Club, 1888. Although Hunter was noted for his New York City images, he is reported, like most of the landscape artists of the period, to have traveled each summer (and obviously in winter too) searching for new subject matter in "exotic" locales in Canada and Europe. He is perhaps better known for his etchings, many of which have docks, quays and waterfront subjects with sailing vessels very prominently depicted. However, he produced a somewhat extensive repertoire of oil paintings, including ships portraits - some historical views on Long Island Sound-and pastural scenes. Frederick Hunter lived at Ossining, Cold Spring on Hudson, New York. Exhibition venues included the National Academy of Design, 1881-86; Brooklyn Art Association, 1881-86; and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, 1881-82, 1884.
