He began his career in 1892 as an apprentice with a lithography company in Philadelphia, and then went to New York and worked as a jewelry designer. He sold his first drawings to Century Magazine, and later contributed to Harper's and The Saturday Evening Post. In 1907, he moved to Westport, Connecticut. Wright exhibited at the Art Students League in New York City and the Ferargil Galleries. He was a member and past president of the Salmagundi Club and the Dutch Treat Club in New York City. Wright's travels in the South are not documented, and his work is rarely dated. He appears, however, to have visited South Carolina on at least one occasion, in 1915, when he recorded aspects of African-American life in Beaufort, a small coastal town seventy miles south of Charleston. Only one of the known paintings is dated a small watercolor entitled Laundry Day in South Carolina. The series also included A Black Wedding in Beaufort, South Carolina and similar works. Watercolors of Zig Zag Alley, Chalmers Street, and related subjects suggest that Wright began his trip in Charleston and then traveled to Beaufort by boat, stopping at Edisto to paint a series of pastels, including Looking at Rockville from Edisto Island. Although Wright was clearly engaged with realist concerns throughout his career, his pastels of the 1930s and 40s, which include scenes of African-American life in Edisto and Beaufort, are more decorative in color and composition, and may have been composed from earlier sketches, aided by memory. He was also a member and past president of the Society of Illustrators and the Westport Artists Group, and a member of the Society of American Etchers.

Original Vintage WWI Poster Hip Hip Another Ship by George Hand Wright c1918
Est: $1,200 - $1,800
A jubilant worker celebrates completing construction of another warship in this American WWI poster. He swings from the newly built jackstaff, as the American flag waves in the wind. A busy shipyard can be seen in the background. This poster from 1918 was commissioned by the Emergency Fleet Corporation (EFC). The EFC was founded in 1917 by the United States Shipping Board (USSB), which was established while the United States was at peace to try to restore the nation's Merchant Marine ship supply. After the entry of the U.S. into WWI, the function of the USSB changed radically, becoming a military agency that maintained the line of communication between America and Europe. George Hand Wright (1872 - 1951) was a painter and illustrator from Pennsylvania who created several WWI posters. He produced many cover illustrations for periodicals such as Scribner's and was a founding member of the artists community in Westport, Connecticut. The U.S. Library of Congress has a collection of over one hundred of Wright's illustrations. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed, and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.
