I seek any and all information about an artist who signs as "R. Hanselmann", or about a print (edition of 1000) by this artist titled "A St. Louis Tradition" depicting a Clydsdale horse team pulling a beer wagon across an athletic stadium field, presumably in St. Louis, Missouri.

Here's my usual C&P on this subject:


One of the best resources that I have found concerning Paris Etching Society is from Google answers, located HERE (http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=39718).
The response from scriptor-ga is very insightful.

Basically PES was set up by Sidney Z. Lucas, hence the SZL mark. He owned a printshop in New York in the years 1940 to 1960 where He
produced a large number of prints after old etchings.
Generally, prints by Mr. Lucas seem not to reach very high prices.
At the end of the day they look nice, but that's about it.
Most of what is talked about them is from people "boiler rooming" the price on the supposed French history.

I hope this helps.

I have the Hanselmann print you are referencing. It is the third and final print in a series. It depicts Gussie Busch riding atop the Clydesdale eight-horse hitch while it was making a lap across the baseball field at the "old" Busch Stadium.

This print was the "Fair Share" gift for the 1989 Anheuser-Busch United Way campaign.

I can send additional info if you wish.

I have one of these prints as well as another called the "Old School House", If you have interest in more detail let me know. In addition, I have interest myself in this artist. I inherited these 2 prints recently.
