|
|
  |
|
|
ROBERT FULTON (1765-1815). American Engineer, Artist, Inventor and Perfector of the Steamboat.
|
|
Hand-Drawn Original Artist Sketch Signed with his Initials, "R.F." (Robert Fulton), Dated 1807 in pencil, Choice Extremely Fine. This Hand-dated 1807 Sketch measures 5.25" x 3.75" being an unusual image of a dog-man in a coat. Although Robert Fulton is best remembered as an Inventor, he spent the first thirty years of his life pursuing a career in art, including painting miniatures. At age 30, he decided to discontinue his art career, but his ability to translate ideas into sketches continued to serve him well in his future. Exceedingly Rare. |
