Message:: [QUOTE="frederick, post: 699178, member: 20756"]W A Frauz story Hello RickieB,Thank you for the comment about my great grandfather Walter A Frauz. Because of the topic nature of engraving for stocks and bonds at the time he acquired an interest in Greek Myth. He painted it as a hobby. Here is a portion of his favorite work. He called it Night. He never sold any painting he did. He was a member of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh and show his works in their annual exhibit. This is not a great photo of the painting but it fits within the 250 kB limit. There is another I know you will have an interest in. I learned not long ago it was the art used on Security Bank Note Company stocks.... I have to reduce the size from over 2 MB  By the way He told my grandfather that she looked pretty good with clothes on also!   She was Miss West Virginia who posed for him. I am still searching for who she was. I did find the first Miss West Virg. It does kind of look like her.[/QUOTE]
