I would say this is my favorite find but I have so many and I know I'll find something else that will become a favorite. But I absolutely love paintings and beautiful frames. Even better when it's a steal a of a deal!! So one of (well, two) of my latest finds was two reproduction paintings from the artist Martin Fromhold. One is "Flowers in the Summer" and the other is "Summer Bouquet". I have searched and searched and can find absolutely no information at all on this Martin Fromhold. The only thing I've come up with is a description with a link on Google that reads, "
There was a passport application for Martin
Fromhold, of Campbell Co, Kentucky, requesting a passport to travel
to Baden, filed 6 August, 1858." That would have been from about the same time period so I'm assuming it's the same Martin Fromhold. I would love to find out more about him though.
The best thing about this find...I paid $5 for each painting!! The poster prints unframed are going for about $60.00 a piece on eBay and elsewhere on the internet. I haven't found the perfect place for them in my house yet but I'm thinking I want them to go in my office.
