… for sale, in this case. I’m neither the seller nor an agent for the seller. I’m just the messenger for “a serigraph wall mural attributed to Carl G. Evers, a depiction of the busy part of lower Manhattan accurate to 1876. It’s huge: six 10′ by 2.5′ panels. It comes with four more [with] blank background. A small limited run released by James Seeman, it’s never been displayed and in perfect original condition.”
The contact person [Sara] can be contacted at popsbasement24@gmail.com, and says, “My 90-year-old grandfather has strong ties to the seaport area. He needs to sell it. I’m trying to find a private buyer or a non profit or someone who may buy it to donate to the museum. His main concern is that he wants it to be appreciated and seen. I’m hoping to find the right person whose interested or may know the perfect person or place. And, you can request to see the piece at its location in Staten Island.”

Gift hunting, anyone?
I’ve not seen the mural, but I hope it get a new home soon.

Hi, this is Sara. I wanted to thank Mr. Van Dorp for graciously featuring a post with the mural I have for sale in hopes it will been seen by people with a strong love of both art and the seaport in its glory days.. He was kind enough to post links to my ebay ad, and the video. Im more than happy to provide more details. And for anyone who is considering the piece, I will be offering it a price lower than my ebay ad for anyone local or who saw it here.
Thanks to everyone who checked it out and expressed interest, I hope it finds a new home soon! And again a big thanks to Will for helping me have the opportunity to get more eyes on this gorgeous piece of art that captures the true historic and cultural essence of the Seaport in its heyday in 1876. Thanks

Carl Evers did many a Moran Tow Line cover back in the ’60s & maybe early ’70s if my memory serves me correctly. I couldn’t wait for my father to come home with the latest issue. I’d send away to Moran & receive a beautiful print………my favorite being the M.Moran passing Diamond Head.
