Albert A. Webb was the Chief Engineer and General Manager of Riverside Canal Company in 1934. He founded an eponymous civil engineering and land development planning firm in Riverside, California in 1945 that continues to operate today. Webb traveled to Alaska frequently and owned land in Valdez until it was lost to the Great Earthquake of 1964.

The present work is believed to have been acquired on one of his Alaskan trips and was given pride of place in his office above his desk for decades.

The painting is unlined and retains the original stretcher bars. Minor frame abrasion. Minor surface dirt and discolored varnish. Under UV light examination, no evidence of restoration. No further condition issues to report.
