Artist Don Swann, born in Florida in 1889, studied art in Rome and Munich before returning to America where he resided in Baltimore until his death in 1954. Don Swann was an artist who also worked as a writer and engraver, illustrating significant structures, mostly in and around Washington D.C. and Baltimore.
The first etching of this work was presented to President Truman by Baltimore Mayor Theodore Roosevelt McKeldon (see newspaper cutting pasted on back of etching). This particular signed and numbered etching was presented to Alma Harrison Ambrose by the same Mayor of Baltimore in November of 1946 for doing a "marvelous job" as a public officer for the city. (Please refer to all details on the rear of the framed piece).
The etching itself is in good condition. The matte shows small signs of wear and the paper backing is torn (please see photos).
Your purchase will support The Green Chair Project, a home-furnishing nonprofit organization that supports families in need and in crisis.
