WPA LE signed Prints Jacob Kainen & Saul Kovner

We are featuring a group of WPA Prints that are pretty exceptional. From our own personal MUSEUM quality collection, we are downsizing and able to offer a select group of these historical works of art. These are guaranteed authentic 1930s works of art, NOT modern reproductions. All are from the New York City Graphic Arts Division and provide a unique opportunity to own both a striking work of art AND an actual piece of United States “history.”

Two are pictured here, one a SIGNED ORIGINAL 1940s lithograph print by artist SAUL KOVNER (American 1904-1982) titled “Skaters, Crotona Park.”  Terrific winter scene of the famous Bronx, New York park. Signed, inscribed in graphite center & lower right. For an extra whimsical touch, SAUL included his name & date on a sign IN the actual print. The other is a SIGNED ORIGINAL 1930s lithograph print by artist JACOB KAINEN (American 1909-2001) titled “CONVALESCENT.”   Signed and titled, Federal Art Project NYC WPA stamp on lower left.

Jacob Kainen worked for the NYC FAP from 1935 to 1942. He became a print-maker, curator of the Smithsonian’s collection of graphic arts, and a collector of prints, particularly those of German expressionists. During the 1930s, he became a social realist & influential member of the NY Graphics Arts division. After WWII, he moved to the Washington, DC area & assumed a leadership role in the arts community. Later work became primarily abstract.

Rogers Silverplate Cruet Caster Set Triple Plate 1880

We recently found a beautiful Rogers Brothers Turning Wheel 4 Station Cruet Caster Set. This set is in excellent condition considering it was made in the period 1870 – 1880. It has the Rogers Mark on the turning wheel.  The four bottles included with the set are Oil, Vinegar, Mustard, and Salt.  We found a reference to this item in an 1880 catalog, and the cost was $4.25.

The Stand is about 14″ high and 7″ wide. The turning wheel features a very nice leaf and floral decoration around its outer circumference. This set displays very nicely and has 4 matching bottles, which I am told is very rare. This is truly a rare find from the treasure hunters at Connectibles.
