SS Concho by Antonio Jacobsen. Known as the "Audubon of Steam Vessels," Antonio Jacobsen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, and received his art training there at the Royal Academy. Jacobsen immigrated to American in 1871 and took a job painting decorations on commercial safes for the Marvin Safe Company in New York City. With the encouragement of a steamship company, Jacobsen turned his attention toward portraits of ships and marine images. In 1880 he relocated his studio and residence permanently to West Hoboken, New Jersey. This painting of the SS Concho was done by Jacobsen in 1891.
