LeRoy Dagobert Sauer
Biography from the Archives of askART

Born in Dayton, Ohio in 1894, he became an instructor for commercial art at the Dayton Art Institute. He also illustrated a book on Tropical Fish and was a founder of a Dayton Society of Etchers. 

There was renewed interest in his work in the early 1970's and reproductions of many of his works were hanging at Custom Electronics, a stereo and ham radio supply, operated by LeRoy's son, Richard J. Sauer.
