From the Estate of the late Mr. and Mrs. Harry M. Trafford, Jr., Andrews, North Carolina

Louis Orr is best known for remarkably detailed and highly collectible etchings that illustrate historic landmarks throughout North Carolina. Born in Connecticut and spending much of his formative years in Paris, people fervently began collecting Orr’s work in both countries in the early 20th century. Orr was the first American artist to have work in the permanent collection of the Louvre Museum, and his were also the first etchings to ever join the Louvre’s collection.

Good estate condition; not examined out of the frame.
