From the web: Harry Russell Ballinger, (1892–1993), was born in Washington State and studied art at the University of California in San Francisco, the Art Students League in New York City, and Academie Colarossi in Paris. He lived in New Hartford between 1935 and 1940. Ballinger’s preferred media were watercolors and oil and preferred subject seascapes. He illustrated for many magazines such as Yankee Magazine, McCall’s Magazine, and the Saturday Evening Post. He also taught art in Bristol, Connecticut from 1945 to 1946, and at Central Connecticut State University from 1945-1959. Ballinger wrote and illustrated four books: “Painting Surf and Sea” (1957), “Painting Boats and Harbors” (1959), “Landscapes” (1965), and “Painting Sea and Shore” (1966). The book is acceptable (poor) condition, shelf-wear, age yellowing, it appears that a book plate was removed from the inside cover, I’m not sure but there may have been a page opposite the title page removed (see photo), except for the author’s inscription there no writing in the book.
