[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 333012, member: 5833"]OP's main request was name of artist. Was hoping someone else would have a thought on my suggestion of William H. Meyers. If you haven't followed the link, here's a relevant extract: Watercolor drawings [in the diary he kept of a voyage] (one in ink wash) illustrate ships at sea, localities visited, entertainments, shipboard activities and illness at sea. [SIZE=4][B]Biographical/Historical Note[/B][/SIZE] William H. Meyers (b. 1815), a native of Philadelphia, sailed on merchant vessels, worked at the U.S. Naval Laboratory in Washington, D.C., and served as a gunner in the U.S. Navy. Right initials, right age, right city, right occupation, right avocation, sometimes painted scenes of ships. I had mindlessly been assuming print under discussion is of an oil painting.
