<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 139900, member: 44&quot;]Here&#039;s a little on the Seebold family of New Orleans. They were very much in that city&#039;s art scene from the tome of the Civil War to the turn of the century. After the CW, W.E. Seebold became the South&#039;s most prominent art dealer.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.hnoc.org/art-from-the-seebold-salon-womens-guild-of-the-new-orleans-opera-association/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.hnoc.org/art-from-the-seebold-salon-womens-guild-of-the-new-orleans-opera-association/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hnoc.org/art-from-the-seebold-salon-womens-guild-of-the-new-orleans-opera-association/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>More info on WE Seebold</p><p>&quot;Note: William Henry Buck exhibited his work at the William Seebold Gallery on Canal Street in New Orleans. Seebold, a native of Germany, was active as an art dealer in New Orleans from c. 1865 to 1920. He was one of the foremost art connoisseurs in the city, exhibiting works by local artists as well as many of the top European artists of the day. From 1879 to 1916, almost every notable artist who visited New Orleans dined at his home on Prytania Street. His gallery was a meeting place for Clague, Buck, E.B. Julio and others. Seebold&#039;s gallery and home were the nexus of the art world in late 19th century New Orleans. Buck and his contemporaries certainly benefited from the opportunity to see the many European paintings that Seebold had on offer at his gallery as well as installed in his gracious mansion.</p><p>Reference: <i>Encyclopaedia of New Orleans Artists 1718-1918</i>, The Historic New Orleans Collection, 1987.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Scroll down this page to the &quot;#297 William Henry Buck...&quot; Read the note at the end of the descrption of the painting.
