This piece is an original lithograph dating from 1945 and was published by the Associated American Artist, New York, NY. It is signed in pencil by the artist in the lower right corner. Most of the works published by the AAA were published in editions of 125 to 250. Sight: 11.75" x 8.75", Frame: 14.375" x 17.5" The piece is is mounted in a simple black wood frame with off white colored mat.

Many of his pieces had been loan to Museum and Exhibitions around the country. The Tobin Gallery in the Marion Koogler McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas was named after him as well as the Robert L. B. Tobin Park. George Ford Morris was born in 1873 in St. Joseph, MO and passed away in 1960 in Arcadia, CA. Well known as an American equestrian artist, George Ford Morris worked as a painter, sculptor, illustrator and lithographer. Although self-taught, he attended classes at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1888 and later at the Academie Julien in Paris (1925).
