Art Wanted: Sell your 19th Century Ship Portrait

We are looking for works by:

Artist:	Adelaide Photo Co. (Australian, active 1895-1910) - Oilpaintings on canvas or on board
Place:	Was located in Sydney, N.S.W., Australia.
Motifs:	Ship Portraits, mainly of Sailing Vessels of the Australia Trade including the large Windjammer

Please send us an e-mail to receive an exact offer for your work by this artist (free of charge for persons considering to sell their painting).
Notes:	Adelaide Photo was a company, who employed and coopearted with artists like R.A. Borstel. They delivered to the captains and staff of the vessel who visited Sydney ship portraits in the typical "Australian Style" (this means all artists in the area had a similar way to execute their paintings) around the turn of the century. The paintings often show a lot of precise details but suffer from the lack of an unique artistical performance.

Please refer to our page "Contact" and send an e-mail to bais@gmx.de with the information requested there. You will receive an answer usually within 48-72 hours (up to a week in rare cases).
