Samuel S. Carr

Samuel S. Carr (1837-1908) was an American pastoral and landscape painter. Originally from England, he relocated to the U.S. (specifically, New York City, where he later studied mechanical drawing in 1865) around 1862. He is recorded as having lived in Brooklyn from 1879 to 1907, along with his sister, Annie, and her husband, John Bond. He never married. He is a fairly well-known artist, with some of his paintings having sold at auction alongside the likes of Norman Rockwell and N.C. Wyeth, to the tune of over US$70,000.

He was at one point President of the Brooklyn Art Club, and was also a member of a Masonic Lodge.
