I have a large watercolor(print?), signed by Loring that I bought in Ocala Fl. Just saw the same for sale on line, who has the original??? I have some old pencil sketches by Loring that we found in my uncle's house on Steamboat Ave. in Wickford. They were friends and fellow boatmen. I miss the old Wickford. Would enjoy hearing any comments.

On the back is a letter written by Virginia Loring. Saying Paul has his luggage ready for an overseas assignmentand he may leave before christmas. explaining the things that were sent to Bruce were much appreciated. wishing a Merry Christmas to everyone. signed by Virginia

FOR SALE : A RARE March 1949 First Printing of a Map of some old Rhode Island Ferries of Lower Narragansett Bay and Sakonnet River by the famed cartoonist and artist Paul S. Loring, Published by Loring's Shanty, Wickford, R.I. Only serious minded buyers should contact me with your email address with regards to price and pictures. This early map appears to be hand drawn in black ink by Mr. Loring and yet it is unsigned. It measures approximately 14" x 18" and it is in a wooden frame. There is a sticker/seal on the back board that reads; CUSTOM PICTURE FRAMING GALERY- EXCLUSIVE GIFTS ARTIST'S MATERIALS, LORING'S SHANTY, END OF PLEASANT STREET, WICKFORD, R.I. It has depictions of several ferries and docks that were in operation over a period of time over the Narragansett Bay along with Newport and Little Compton and the Sakonnet River along with the entire Rhode Island water way and much, much more. It specifically indicates and accounting of the Bristol Ferry's Capital Outlay for 1753. Similar maps can be seen at the following web site: CONDITION: REQUIRES RESTORATION: I have not opened the back of the enclosed frame in order to inspect the map. The visual inspection of the framed map shows that there is some water stains to the right side of the map from poor storage and exposure. There are no tears and no folds. It also show some running of the black inked that was used in the drawings but yet and still if you consult with an art conservation professional you'll find that this can be taken care of. This is a very unique and attractive vintage map. I consider it to be in is overall in good condition.

Curious as to the circa of the original images. Paul Loring was my Great Uncle- want to confirm that this is the same cartoonist. He worked for the Providence Journal for many years.
