[QUOTE="Judy Ferrell, post: 9789341, member: 86711"]Greetings, and thank you for allowing me to join! I was gifted an "antique" print a few decades ago. The frame recently needed repair and in the disassembly process, I noticed text beneath the image. A Google search produced a record at the British Museum, ([URL]https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_1852-0214-395[/URL]). The only difference is the blind stamp in the left corner - mine reads "FDN". It's a large print, 28" x 37" and despite framing with preservation board, the text is becoming difficult to read. I was going to take this piece to consignment, but if it has any historical significance, I would love to find it a better home. I sent a note to the British Museum but I'm not sure of next steps. Thank you![/QUOTE]
