    I'm pulling everything out of the closet theses days. I bought this print at a tag sale here in Denver about 8 or 9 years ago. The print is pretty faded but it is signed by Cornwell and dedicated to Martin Deforest Smith. It's titled Osler at Old Blockley, from the Pioneers of American Medicine series of 6 different scenes. I saw some speculation that these may have been given out to doctors(for some reason).

    I've looked up Smith and he was the Chief of radiology here at St Anthony's for many years. https://obituaries.bowdoin.edu/martin-deforest-smith-jr-46/

    I'm curious if it has much value being signed even IMG_7496.jpg if the print is very faded. Let me know what you think! :) IMG_7497.jpg IMG_7498.jpg
