✅ SOLVED Can anyone ID this harbor print?

[Digger54]

I have a print that my folks used to have. Neither is around to tell me the background on it. I have a picture of it hanging on their wall in the early 60s so it predates that. Don't see an artist signature on it unless it is hidden by the matt. The back side is brown papered over and glued to the black frame so I would have to cut it off to access the pic. Not sure if there is any correlation to my parents and grandparents being from NJ.

I realize this is a very long shot but super sleuths like Red-Coat never cease to amaze me.

The internet/AI says...but it's up to you to further research to confirm.

"This artwork is an etching by artist Earl Horter titled "Dock Scene".

• It features a bustling nautical harbor with prominent sailing ships docked next to buildings."

Yes, It’s after an etching by the American artist Earl Horter (1880–1940):

The work is usually titled as "Dock Scene" or "Sailing Ships Docked" and, although not specifically identified, many sources suggest it’s Philadelphia Harbor since Horter is known to have frequently produced images of its historic waterfront. He also produced a series of images of the waterfront and docks at Gloucester, MA in the 1930s with similar scenes.

I was born in Philadelphia so odds are good in that direction. Thank you!
