well i just registered on here .... not sure if this is going to help me but here i go...... I went to an estate sale and was GIVEN this painting. It is an original and has Folton on it...I understand that he painted as well but I am not sure if this is a "real" Fulton. I have looked up a couple of thing w/ his signature and both look diffrent from eachother and on this painting it is in Print not cursive. if anyone has any information to help me find out if i have the real thing please email me at lilmisstx123@yahoo.com i can send you pix of this painting if it may help you to help me find out about the history of this mistirious painting i have.

Thank you, Melissa

2023 rationale

edit
  • Lots of tough borderline entries with questionable references that need to be looked
  • Two were removed for reference overhaul or content issues.
  • Most of the entries are American, so to balance this, all births and deaths are non American.
  • No female entries so two of the births and deaths are female.
  • First time adding a picture, it is in the public domain and is not fair use. Caption used is welcome to be modified.
