[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 12778948, member: 16407"]Well, I spent next month's antiquing budget on one item this month, but you know how it is... :D As you can see, it's attributed to 'Helene Thompson.' Not sure how whoever wrote that knew it. The frame back seems to say 'Mrs. Thompson.' No signature on the front / image. Don't know where the date of 1948 comes from, either. I can find lots of floral lithographs by a Helene Thompson, but no bio info and no paintings. So I once again ask for your help. The frame shop in Monterrey, CA is now out of business, but that they framed it adds to my feeling that it's a Sierra Nevada-based image. Found in a Portland, Oregon 2nd-hand shop. Any and all comments appreciated. Image itself is 24"x20" (61x51cm) Thanks!
