Rudolph
After 4 years of apprenticeship in Holland,
Rudolph decided that the United States offered
better prospects in his field and he traveled to
Havre, France to voyage to the U.S. aboard the
sailing vessel “William Tell”. He set sail on May
18th, 1851. The ship was one year old and made
the trip in the relatively fast time of 26 days. He
arrived right before his eighteenth birthday in
New York. He drew numerous portraits of the
crew members and the ship on his way over, some
of which are included in this offering.
