He studied at the Art Students League and was active in the NYC WPA program as a lithographer. This large print is listed in the Newark Museum collection as a WPA print from 1938. (Our impression is not stamped.) Another impression is listed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The bridge shown in this scene is the Queensboro Bridge. A retrospective of his lithographs was held at the Hudson River Museum in 1987.
