This is an awesome reproduction of a painting by E. Lamasue that has a copyright above the signature. It is breathtaking. The frame has beauty to it as well as the painting. This was purchased at an upscale estate sale in the Pittsburgh area. It is a collectible print of a painting by E. Lamasure. This is some information that I found about the artist. I was just asked by another ebayer if this were a painting or print since it has a copyright symbol. Here is information I found on about the artist. It is a nice piece of artwork. Take a look at the pictures.
"Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania of French and Scotch parentage, Edwin Lamasure, Jr became a noted landscapist, self taught, as well as painter of marine scenes, primarily using watercolors and working from a studio in Washington DC. There he was active in art clubs and exhibited regularly at the Veerhoff Gallery and with the Washington Water Color Society.
Much of his subject matter was in Virginia and Maryland, and he spent much time in the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay region. He also painted historical buildings such as The Washington Monument, Mount Vernon and Monticello.
He was commissioned by the Osborne Company to paint twelve scenes of the construction of the Panama Canal, most of them used on calendars, but the circumstances of the commission are unknown.
He arrived in Washington DC as a child of eleven in 1877, when his father went to work for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. In 1883, Edwin Lamasure Jr. went to work for the Bureau as an apprentice engraver, but several years later returned to Philadelphia for several years to work for engravers Bailey, Banks & Biddle, a jewelry store. The length of his stay is unknown, but in 1895, he is again listed in the Washington DC directory living at 818 17th Street NW.
In May, 1896, he marred Bertha Prescott Stearns of Wellston, Ohio, and they bought a home in Round Hill, Virginia where he found many of his landscape subjects. They had three children, and in 1902, moved back to Washington, using the Round Hill home for their summer retreat."
