Arthur Emil Edwin Von Frankenberg (1887/9 - 1950) was an artist who was particularly active in the 1920s. As with many of the lesser known artists from this period, there is conflicting information about him. According to one source, he was born in Milwaukee in 1887, although other sources indicate the year of his birth as 1889 without specifying where he was born. His grandfather Emil had immigrated to the US from Germany around 1845. "Arthur had started out as an accountant, but in his early 20s studied art in Washington, where his father Hermann was based as a travelling salesman. In 1912 Arthur married Ruth Crawford, from Illinois, and shortly after they moved to New York. There Arthur became a full-time artist".
