Description

Signed Thomas R. Manley dry point etching of the John A. Roebling suspenson bridge of the Ohio river set to Cincinnatti sky line. Impressionist painter, etcher, and lithographer Thomas Rathbone Manley was born in Buffalo, New York, in 1853. The man who would later become known as “The Dean of Montclair Artists” first attempted to study law. A chance encounter with a watercolorist who was painting the woods en plain air near Manley’s home inspired him to send away for a watercolor kit. He quickly realized he wanted to pursue art as a career, and quit law after managing to set aside enough of his income to enroll for three months at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. This would be his only formal training, including a life drawing class by Thomas Eakins. This set Manley on his path
