I have a beautiful framed Karl Hoefle print of the turning basin area of the Houston Ship Channel. I found it a few years ago thrift shopping at The Guild Shop.  Sharing here for your enjoyment

I wish I could find more beautiful (and silly) prints of Houston like this one!

I found these prints at an estate sale a few years ago and would love to know more about the art and artist, as well as find more similar prints of historic Houston buildings!  It appears the artist is “Watt Bell” or perhaps “Walter Bell.”  I have prints of the Houston Cotton Exchange and Board of Trade Building, The Hogg Building, and the Sweeney-Coombs & Frederick Building.

Does anyone know anything about these prints and their origin or know anything about the artist?
