The following biography is provided by Joe L Dolice, son of the artist:  Leon Dolice was born in Vienna on August 14, 1892. Dolice spent most of his late teens and early twenties traveling through the capital cities of Europe studying the works of the Masters.  He came to America in 1920 and devoted all his time to chronicling the architecture, back streets, dock scenes and other nostalgia that was fast disappearing from the face of Manhattan, mainly in copperplate etchings.  His subject matter was almost exclusively New York City street scenes and or other New York City landmarks that were then threatened with extinction. Dolice's works are in a number of notable museums and private collections.
