Description: This quality lithograph was produced by the Ketterlinus Printing Company of Philadelphia in 1898. Eugene Ketterlinus, born August 13, 1824, in Württemberg, Germany, was a prolific commercial lithographer and printer, renowned for his label work, active in Philadelphia from 1842-1886. Grandson of German engraver William Ketterlinus (1766-1803) and brother of fellow printers Paul (1820-1894) and Adolphus (ca. 1826-ca. 1867), Eugene arrived in the United States in the early 1830s. The firm continued into the 1980's. I have not been able to find another copy of this work for sale or for show on the web. It shows the USS Maine from the port side in full profile at anchor at sunset with two small boats alongside. Presumably this is meant to represent the scene a few hours before she exploded. It is presented in a contemporary frame 18.5" x 14" decorated with plaster and paint. There is some damage to the top right corner plaster (see photo). The lithograph postdates the destruction of the ship in February 1898. Free shipping in the USA.
