Armor was a prominent artist from Western Pennsylvania More of his works can be seen from a past exhibit at The Frick https://entertainmentcentralpittsburgh.com/artistry/hills-mills-bridges-and-chimneys-a-glimpse-into-pittsburghs-past/ This and another Armor watercolor were acquired from a person who was on the board of directors for The Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh. Both paintings, at one time, hung in either The Carnegie or The Frick, I'm not 100% certain which museum. The watercolor has been preserved excellently, though the frame, matting and glass/plexi is showing it's age. I've had them for 10 years so they must have been framed like this for at least 30 years, if I had to guess, even longer perhaps. The museum archivist erroneously named the artist as "Armour" on the sticker. Overall very nice pieces. (If anyone viewing this has a recent photo of this very scene/location, please get in touch with me. I would love to see it and add to this listing. I will give you credit for the photo as well.)
