Titled "Cairo" 1888, signed and dated framed watercolor. Born in Kolding, Denmark, Toft was educated in his native land. At age 16 he began his travels aboard a whaler and in 1849 sailed into San Francisco Bay aboard the ship Ohio. After unsuccessfully panning for gold around the Trinity River, he returned to San Francisco where he contributed illustrations to Harper's. While in California, he made many painting excursions to Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. He signed his works in various ways: Tofft, Tufts, Toffts, Toft, and with his monogram, the letter T with a circle drawn around its stem. In 1870 he settled in London where he remained until his death. His watercolors are rare and historically important. Overall size: 24 1/2 x 20 in. Size: 15 x 10 1/2 in. Please note that all sales are final. No refunds will be given under any circumstances.
