Kunstschilder Francis P. Paulus
Volgens Clarence Burton ‘City of Detroit - Michigan’, 1701-1922 Volume II (Detroit-Chicago, The S.J. Clarke Publishing Company 1922) p. 1195, zou een Francis P. Paulus, kunstschilder, geboren te Detroit in 1862, naar Brugge gaan wonen zijn. De tekst luidt: ‘Francis P. Paulus was born in Detroit in 1862, studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and in Paris and Munich. He painted aud taught art classes in this city for a number of years, and then took up his residence at Bruges. Belgian scenes have since been the principal objects of his brush’. - Wat is over hem gekend te Brugge? Was hij mogelijks de zoon van Vlaamse immigranten hier?
