Cmdr Charles A. Lodder
This highly detailed harbor scene features many ships of various types, something British Royal Naval officer and artist Commander Charles Lodder would have seen in his everyday life. There is one named steamship on the right side, SS TARTAR. While this scene appears to be in a British or European port, there are period newspaper references for a steamship of this name with the Charles Morgan Company traveling to Rio de Janeiro, Fiji, Honolulu and Sydney, Australia.
In very good condition and housed in a fine period rosewood frame. This painting was in Joe Vallejo's personal collection for many years.
