Notes |
The artist's name appears to be Theodore Veidt. No information on this artist is positively known. A Theodore Veidt (1855-1910) was working in Davenport Iowa in 1880 as an architect and photographer. He later worked in the Anoka, MN area as a stone mason and brick layer. This may be the artist of these drawings. |
