[QUOTE="aaroncab, post: 2544340, member: 3974"]Hello everyone, I spotted this watercolor at the local Goodwill in the back row of where they toss all the framed "art". It's a watercolor, and it was framed behind glass up against some horribly acidic cardboard backing. It's signed JW Langdon Aug 1910, and the matt has the title/inscription: THE "BEND" IN THE WALLA WALLA RIVER - BLUE MOUNTAINS - JW LANGDON - Aug 1910 From what I've found googling - JW Langdon was a photographer around the turn of the century, I've found a few of his photos of Native American peoples online [URL]https://plateauportal.libraries.wsu.edu/creator/jw-langdon[/URL] [URL]https://www.loc.gov/item/91792102/[/URL] [URL]https://www.loc.gov/item/90710161/[/URL] Also I've found in a few books on google book search where his photos are credited. Can't seem to find much more about him, but I did see that his signature on my piece does match his signature on the photo on the library of congress site. Has anyone heard of his work as a photographer or know more? I don't think his work as a watercolor artist would win any awards but this is a nicely done scene. The watercolor image is 14 inches x 21 inches. Thanks for looking, and reading!
