    I don't think that's a signature, but a notation indicating where this instance of the print fell in the print run and the size of the run. I think it says "17/117."

    If it's not also signed by the artist, then I think it's possible the notation was put on by someone else.

    Ya , well that's an interesting theory, except for the fact that it's numbered 3/50 on the lower left where prints are traditionally numbered , & the lower right being reserved for the artists name.....which I'm not even going to guess at !

    Komo, on my screen, I can't make out what it says on the lower left, but I'll take your word for it. And if that's the case, I agree that the signature is hard to decipher... and I'm not going to guess at it, either!

    I had the same thought as Pat.

    I'll start the guessing at Nan?

    Are you looking at it on a phone ?
    It's there on my computer screen.

    I've been working with prints of all kinds for 25 years & in my experience the number is on the left , the title , if any is in the middle and the artist signs the bottom right...
    I've never seen the numbers underlined either.

    I'm viewing it on my laptop. Even after clicking the first image to enlarge it, the notation in the bottom left is very small and faint. I didn't recognize it as "3/50" until you wrote that's what is says.

    I do see one possible name... "nillz"?
