Item Overview

Description

James Henry Moser
Washington, D.C. (1854-1913)
"Mountain Landscape"
watercolor
Signed lower right and dated 1895 on backing board. Watercolor has been mounted on board Foxing and discoloration along with an approximately 4" two-part vertical tear to paper roughly 3 1/2" from left margin. James Henry Moser was born in Ontario, Canada and moved with his family to Columbus, Ohio at the age of ten. Moser's father was an architect and he inherited his aesthetic skill. He studied at the Art Students League and then lived in various Southern cities through the 1870s and 1880s while he worked as a freelance magazine illustrator and completed a number of projects including a series of watercolor paintings for the Great Southern Railroad of Alabama, and collaborating with Frederick Church on the illustrations for the first edition of Joel Chandler Harris' "Uncle Remus." He married in 1883 and a few years later settled in Washington, D.C., where his father was working as an architect for the federal government. He held a number of posts, including art critic and illustrator for the "Washington Times" and later the "Washington Post," and professor of watercolor at the Corcoran School of Art and Columbian College (now George Washington University).
14 1/4" H x 6 1/2" W, unframed.

Note: Harlowe-Powell does not guarantee the condition of any coins. All condition reports are from the consignor.

Reserve Price: Some lots are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is a confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. Harlowe-Powell will act to protect the reserve by bidding through the auctioneer. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller and may continue to bid on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the reserve.

Absentee Bids: Please remember this is a live auction. Just because you have left an absentee bid for a certain amount does not mean you will ultimately win the item if it is sold at that amount. Our auctioneer takes bids from all parties including live floor bidders, phone, and on-line bidders. We try to ensure that all bids are represented equally.

The highest qualified Bidder recognized by the Auctioneer shall be the buyer. Auctioneer's decision and declaration of the winning Bidder shall be final and binding upon all Bidders. Bids properly offered, whether by floor bidder or other means of bidding, may on occasion be missed or go unrecognized; in such cases, the Auctioneer may declare the recognized bid accepted as the winning bid, regardless of whether a competing bid may have been higher.

If you are the successful bidder, you have entered into a legally binding contract to purchase the property bid on. You should contact the seller to resolve any questions before bidding.
