William (Bill) Karp worked for the Federal Art Project in the 1930s, creating murals in at least Bellevue Hospital and the Hebrew Orphan Asylum (which, apropos of nothing, sent 10 volunteers to the International Brigades fighting for the Republic in the Spanish Civil War). My ex-wife Judy Scott and I were friends of the family. I took these pictures in 1972 when we were visiting them at their home off Rumsey Road in Yonkers NY.
