Additional Notes

"One local scene is depicted a familiar bit of this old city which he calls Boston Romance and presents in low key quite in tune with its hoary age. Boston Romance demonstrates clearly the decorative possibilities in form and color of such seldom painted spots as Union Square with its famous Oyster House."Exhibited at Boston Art Club, July, 1933."


This is the same scene as In Old Boston. This black and white photo image was printed in Grand Central Art Galleries 1937 catalogue
