Fritz Fuglister Sites

" Fritz worked on various WPA projects during the thirties, including a mural for the Falmouth police station, which was situated just behind the old Town Hall, near the Falmouth Public Library. Regrettably, the old station and its attached mural are gone, but another of Fritz's wall creations depicting the history of book printing is well preserved and prominent in me main hall of the Brockton Public Library."

Brockton, Massachusetts received a large rotunda mural commissioned by the WPA. Entitled "A History of Books and Printing," the "murals were painted as a WPA project in 1940-41 by Fritz Fuglister and carefully restored in 2003 by artist/restorer John Arapoff as part of a complete renovation and expansion." The artist-painted description (pictured here): "Showing Ancient Egyptian, Chinese and Greek methods; the works of the early Europeans and Persians; the period of transition, with Gutenburg the inventor of printing with movable type; early English and American formats; the development of the machine, the Lineotype, the Camera and the Press."
