About the Item
signed lower left.
As you know, the pictures you have (Illustrated Gallery) were decommissioned from the New Britain Museum of American Art. There is no indication of who donated them to the museum.
Considering he is a Connecticut artist, it is a bit surprising they did not keep any of his works. The listing when the pictures sold said they were for Traveler's insurance calendars, which family members said was consistent with the type of commissions he worked with.
His best known works are murals like the ones in the Nutting House. There are also some public murals, including one that was recently restored in West Hartford, and another reportedly in New Britain. The Nutting House murals he painted with his father, Edwin Yungk. Edwin Yngk did mostly illustrations for catalogs and other commercial and industrial work.
If searched via the intemet, you will find that one of the crowd that Walter Korder hung out with was Jimmy Cagney who was an amateur painter. There is also a portraiture award given in Walter Korder's name in Connecticut.

"Ringmaster"
By Charles E. Chambers
Located in Fort Washington, PA
Story illustration, image of man on couch, woman in chair writing
Charles Edward Chambers was born in Ottumwa, Iowa, studied at the Chicago Art Institute, and later the Art Students League in New York with George Bridgman.
His illustrations were extremely skillful, marked by subtlety of value and color. He early learned to adapt his method of painting for the best possible reproduction, and to insure fidelity of printing, he often followed the assignments through to the hands of the engraver who made the plates.
Chambers divided his time almost equally between editorial and advertising assignments. Among his advertising commissions was an outstanding series of portraits of musicians for Steinway & Sons. His distinctive illustrations for billboards, notably for Chesterfield and Palmolive Soap...
