Lot 381		Foringer, Alonzo Earl: American Bank Note Company, Magnificent, Rare, Original Oil on Canvas Concept Art, Ca. 1920s. (1878- 1948) Alonzo Earl Foringer celebrated magazine illustrator for Scribner's, a World War I propaganda poster designer and an acclaimed muralist whose works can be seen throughout the US. He was also sought after as a bank note designer for American, Canadian and European banks. The American Bank Note Company became the dominant security printer in the United States from 1858, the result of a merger of seven of the leading bank note designers and manufacturers of the time. As the leader of the industry, it designed and produced a wide variety of printed material for the industry intentionally, ranging from stocks and bonds, cheques and other fiscal documents to banknotes for institutions and governments of the world. Offered is one of his bank note concepts and based on the history of his other pieces, they indeed were painted on a fairly large scale. This one measures 37 x 63" and is in superiror condition. The masterful artistry of Foringer's work is on full display here as a man plows his fields with oxen as the Goddess Fortuna holds a cornucopia, considered a sign of abundance. We are not sure if Foringer designed this trial note for the US or abroad, but we do know it was never engraved. Absolutely beautiful.

Lot 418		Very Fine Late 19th Century English School; -- Artist's Name Illegible, Student and Teacher. Staying After Class Late 19th Century English School, oil on canvas. Signed but artist's hand illegible. However due to the manufacturer of the stretched canvas stamped on verso W. URQUHART/ 157, HIGH STREET/ NOTTING HILL GATE/ 327, EDGWARE RD, LONDON W. we can date this work to about 1892-1895 based on the database of the National Portrait Gallery of British Art Suppliers 1650-1950. A charming work, a dedicated schoolmaster is tutoring a young lad likely having a problem solving a bit of arithmetic. Canvas measures 17 x 21" and is framed in gilt wood to 26 x 30". Frame has had some chips repaired and touch-up but overall compliments this 120 year work quite nicely. Artwork itself has been maintained beautifully and in excellent condition. We have another painting by this same artist that would make a great pair. Estimate Value $600 - UP View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
