Koppers Coke Patterson N. J. Signed A. Barbour Watercolor Industrial Scene Old

  

This is unusual in that the scene is double sided. It is a water color on paper. The Obverse side depicts a coal depot that originally stood in the city of Patterson New Jersey. I have found photos of it with Garret mountain in the back round.

The reverse side shows coal car being loaded at a terminal & there is a large sign. This company was the leading fossil fuel company of its day. The double sided painting is about 21 X 29 sight & 31 X 40 with the frame & matting.

There is no glass covering the reverse side. I recently had it framed to protect the work from damage. The condition is vivid bright & crisp for both sides. The" Koppers" side has some pencil notations across the center.

They can be easily removed if you find them. I only mention them for. They were done by the artist & I feel they add to the value of this. Barbour was born and raised in Patterson, New Jersey, the heart of America's once thriving silk industry. He was the youngest of four children born to Drs.
