Wallace Nutting Library

"Thompson Art Company"

Some works by Fred Thompson can be found with the "TACO Nature Studies - Thompson Art Company", label on the rear corner of the mat board. Embossed on the edge of this mat in a hardly visible manner are the words "copyrighted 1907 Thompson Art Co.".



Some of Fred Thompson's pictures can be found with the "©" symbol embossed in one of the lower corners as seen below. Unsigned works have been found with the TACO label on the back, copyright date embossed on the mat and the copyright symbol embossed on the picture.
