John Taylor Arms

Early Morning, North River
1921

A vintage print depicting a harbor scene with a boat named BLACK ROCK in the foreground and the silhouette of a city skyline with prominent skyscrapers in the background. The image has a sepia tone, and there are details of ropes and rigging on the boats, suggesting an early to mid-20th-century setting. The print is signed by the artists in the bottom corners.
