Why don't you think it's an intaglio print?
Out of interest, this print was from a series of 4 telling the story of an elopement – ‘For Better or Worse’, ‘Anxious Moments’, ‘Arrival at...
Fantastic photo. I think the guy with the pipe is Raoul Dufy. And the woman far right looking a bit glum could well be Suzanne Valadon.
No watermark or manufacturer mark I’m afraid. And detailed pieces of cartoon art definitely feel more 20th than 19th century.
Haha a mistake like when the plastic water bottle found its way onto a ‘Downton Abbey’ set. I’m also coming to the view that this is 1974 but in...
Many thanks. I’m definitely swinging round to the consensus view here that this is a 1974 work, and the correspondence with the Chénier opera date...
Many thanks for that. I think the key thing for me is to nail down the date. The paper is on such a thick wove, and with a lot of surface soiling,...

That’s a haunting epitaph for a possible ‘genius’. I thought maybe the full text on my picture was a quote from somewhere but I can’t track it...
Yes I thought that at first. I’ve looked at it under quite high magnification and it looks like an ink drawing. But you would definitely expect...
Will do! I'm struggling to spot the self-portrait.
Wow, thanks for that brilliant lead and to moreotherstuff. I've messaged them so will be interesting to see their response. It's on a very heavy...
Good idea but I can't make it work! Not finding that 'R'.
Sorry some of the pics and font seem to have gone a bit hay-wire!
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I was wondering if anyone had any insight on this one....
Not sure but maybe 'Claire Van Dorst' for Claire Vanderhoof Dorst??
