The Lifelong Collection of Keith and Caroline Gray, Charlotte, NC. Keith and Caroline Gray were passionate about antiques, art, and history. Together they attended antique shows and auctions for decades – assembling a collection particularly strong on American coin silver, Asian art, historical documents, early images, and English ceramics. Both were longtime supporters of the Mint Museum in Charlotte, with Caroline serving in multiple capacities from docent to a member of the acquisitions board and trustee. Caroline translated her love of material culture into a successful career, becoming a certified property appraiser in Charlotte.

Engelhardt was well known for her winter landscapes and farm scenes depicting life in the Poconos. In 1962, one of her paintings was hung in the lounge of the USS Pocono.

Overall good estate condition; small bulge upper right that doesn't detract from image.
