There is little known about Frank Butler except that he worked for the WPA from 1936-1937 while living on Shore Beach in Branford, Connecticut. He painted several signs with images of insects, animals, and plants known to be at East Rock Park. He used the medium larcoloid, an acrylic latex gloss enamel applied to primed metal surfaces. For information about the park, go to the City of New Haven Parks and Rec.
