Hi,

I have been searching the net endlessly for info on 2 works of art I have. If anyone has any info on either one of these I'd be eternally grateful. They came from the estate of a late 80s early 90 something year old woman. I will try to be as thorough as I can in the description. Thank you in advance Antonia.

Title: Rulers of All Nations

Copy written bottom right corner: 1908 by Frank W. Williams

Typed bottom left corner: W.H. Gage

Description: Black and White poster size, features portraits of about 22 heads of states (each unnamed). Example of the countries' heads of states pictured are: United States of America, Persia, Denmark, Bavaria, Turkey, Egypt, Greece, Mexico, China, and Italy to name a few. "Rulers of All Nations" is on a banner on the poster.

Here is the 2nd piece I have:

Title: Plowing 1319

Copy written -- unknown

Unsigned

Full color drawing, possibly some type of oil, painting on cream color paper on back, large drawing. Man in a red shirt and tan pants in field of flowers, plowing in lush scenery with a white horse and a black horse leading the plow. "Plowing 1319" is in black, what looks like typewriter ink in bottom left corner.


Here are the pics:

They are from my aunt's estate - she died at 80 something in the 1970's.
One is a scene from Romeo and Juliet;
One is a scene from Hamlet.

Sorry I don't have any info on yours. Just thought it was interesting as I try to research WH Gage.

This is all I could find on William Hillyard Gage.
