Subject:Help Translating Stamp Please
Posted By: Buddy Fri, Feb 28, 2020 IP: 2601:343:8101:3d60:6 I have had this one on before. I bring to you a better photo of the stamp. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Posted By: Bill H Fri, Feb 28, 2020 According to his obituary in the 'Florida Times Union', Mun Sheung Quan, was born in 1917 in Guangzhou (formerly Canton), in Guangdong Province, China and died in November 2000. He had settled in the USA at Jacksonville, Florida in 1926, when his family arrived in the area and established a vegetable farm west of the city. During his lifetime, he was an art professor at Jacksonville University and also a Microbiologist with the State Health Department Office at Jacksonville. He died in November 2000 at age 83. His art has appeared at exhibitions in Jacksonville and elsewhere around the state, making him a local celebrity in Northeast Florida. |

Posted By: Bill H Sun, Mar 01, 2020 Many thanks, I. Nagy. The artist Quan is "widely" known in the relatively small area of Northeast Florida (now about one million population) where the both of us settled. I've never seen his seal translated before, so this will serve as a great contribution to his small but passionate following. |

Posted By: Alexandra Jepson Thu, Jun 25, 2020 The seal is of his name, Mun Quan. My house is filled with these paintings as he is my grandfather. I asked my mother, and she actually found his seal in our guest bedroom. |

Posted By: Bill H Fri, Jun 26, 2020 Thanks for your personal note I can't think of a better tribute to your grandfather than having his life works and seal kept in honorable ancestral surroundings befitting such a scholar and painter. |
