This appears to be over 100 years old and is an antique! "This portfolio contains twelve full-color pictures of land and sea selected from among the most popular subject from recent Providential Mutual calendars. It is presented to you with the compliments of" Charles H. Butz TA 3371(the first part was printed and the name and number was hand written.) From what I can find out, the artists sold their paintings to Provident Mutual who used them for their various calendars. They then used them as the main picture for their calendars. From these pictures, they choose the best ones and put them together in the portfolio. The first painting ultimately sold for $36,000. Most were sold in that range. The total value of the paintings is probably over $500,000. I was unable to find anything on most of the prints and some of the oils. I will add more information as we get it. Provident Mutual was acquired by Nationwide in 2002. The building used in this book is now a Philadelphia Police Department Building. The Nationwide Archives Department is researching this for me. There is no record of another book in existence.
