I recently purchased a framed copy of this watercolor copyrighted in 1918 by John W. Whisler. In the early 20th c., Whisler was operating in Pittsburgh. F. Marion Dyer, a/k/a Francis Marion Dyer was a regionally noted artist who lived in the Pennsylvania/Maryland area and did oils and watercolors in the early 20th c. He is best known (I believe) for his watercolors which usually had a romantic theme. There are some avid regional collectors of his works. The subject work is a departure, of sorts, where he delved into a war setting for this watercolor. A number of art auctioneers are well aware of Dyer. Although his watercolors have auctioned in the $60 range, a small number of his oils and watercolors have auctioned higher... in the $160 to $270 range. This is what I think I know on this subject... but there probably is more info on Dyer out there. Frank McGee
