In March of 1967, the art show aboard the Delta Queen entitled "Portrait of a Queen" featured pieces by various Cincinnati area artists invited by Mr. Stichtenoth to offer their own artistic impression of the famed steamboat. This is the design for the front cover of an invitation to that art show.




The art show "Portrait of a Queen" featured a number of prominent Cincinnati artists. Like Warren Stichtenoth, many of them were members of the Cincinnati Art Club, which was located in Mt. Adams and overlooked the city and the Ohio River.

This photo caption shows Warren Stichtenoth, Mrs. Letha C. Greene who was president of Greene Line Steamers, and artist Lawrence Zink as he is being awarded the Capt. Tom Greene Award for his painting as part of the "Portrait of a Queen" art show. The newspaper clipping does not show the date, and thus this photo is a bit problematic in that Mr. Zink is not among the artists listed for the 1967 invitational art show "Portrait of A Queen," as shown on a previous webpage.




"From Kentucky," by Warren Stichtenoth

This chalk drawing, showing the Cincinnati skyline and two of the artist's favorite subjects - the Delta Queen and the John S. Roebling Suspension Bridge - was part of a one-man art show in 1967. This piece was also featured on the announcement for the art show, which read as follows: "You are cordially invited to attend an exhibition of paintings and sketches by Warren G. Stichtenoth at the Cincinnati Art Club, 1021 Parkside Place, Mt. Adams, March 5 through 19, 1967, Gallery hours, 2 to 6 P.M. Saturdays and Sundays, Refreshments Opening Day."
