MarkingsRecto, bottom right, stamped in brown ink: "RICHARD WELLING / 74 UNION PLACE / HARTFORD, CT 00103"InscribedRecto, bottom, handwritten in pencil: "W.H. HALL HIGH SCHOOL, W.HTFD, CT. (OLD BUILDING)"NotesDate Note: Hall High School was moved from the building depicted here to its new location in 1970. Richard Welling's studio location was at 74 Union Place from 1982 until his death in 2009. It is likely that the drawing that this print is based on was made before 1970, but the print could have been made any time after 1982 (or whenever Welling had the stamp made).Collections
