Ficke, Francis (sold)
Francis Ficke (fl. c. 1895 - 1920) was an artist and lithographer based in San Francisco. Born in New York around 1866, he appears to have relocated to San Francisco in the late 19th century and established a lithographic print shop at 1778 Post Street. Ficke also was involved with socialist causes, notably the group the Co-Operative Brotherhood, an offshoot of Eugene Debs' Social Democracy of America, and their publication, The Co-operator, for which he designed and printed covers and plates.
