Harmon Pritchard (American, 1890 - 1938). His works include painting, drawing and etching. Included are: 9 copper etching plates; 15 small pen and ink drawings--several per sheet of paper, signed. 3 sheets 15" x 22" , plus 1 half sheet. He is well-know for his works in all mediums. Also included is an Official Program of the Madison Square Garden Rodeo, 1935 with a drawing by Pritchard.
"When the Rodeo came to Madison Square Garden in 1932, Pritchard approached the manager, requesting permission to draw the animals. He was refused, and told to go work in the stockyards if he liked animals so much. His son remembers that is exactly what he did, returning late at night complaining of the noise and the smells. He took some samples of his work back to the Manager of the Rodeo and received permission to draw at the Rodeo. He became the Rodeo Artist, and sold watercolors, etchings, and drawings in the lobby of Madison Square Garden."--Courtesy RoGallery
