I have purchased at auction, one of few charcoal etchings that was done by him. The etching is of the Towson Court House, Baltimore. On the reverse is a presentation article that reads as follows:
"This Etching is Presented by THE ROTARY CLUB OF TOWSON to December 26, 1957 who was guest speaker on Mr. Robert Richards. (this is in error, the name should have been scribed in first, then the date. They are backwards.)
Richard Thomas Waller, Baltimore Artist and Member of the famed Charcoal Club was commissioned by us to make this etching
It is given in appreciation of the Courtesy shown us by our speaker."
It is signed by the Secretary & the President of the Rortary Club.
My intentions are to put this etching on Ebay for auction. If you would like some photos, I have them. I am located in North Carolina.
