    I bought this for the frame; I thought image in it was just a stock photo to show how frame would look.
    But it's actually signed & numbered with a note on the back of it, too!
    It looks like Fran Rodele (or Robole?) but nothing comes up with either name. Can anyone tell who artist is or what note says on back (that signature looks like a single letter!) ?
    Thank you for any help!

    Yup. Looks like it was printed at somebody's house and the artist only made three.

    I sent him a message with photos asking if it is him.
    One interesting thing - Hiram was from Belgium and now lives in Boca Raton, Fl - which is very close to me here in Miami, Fl!

    I'm sure there are quite a few Hiram Levits, and the FB page doesn't mention this one living in Hungary.
    If the FB Hiram Levit is not the Hungarian one, you could always ask the artist himself:

    The photo was taken in Hungary, the series were printed at Hiram's house. That doesn't mean his house is also in Hungary :)

    Hopefully will know soon enough!
    I searched Fred Rohde photographs prints (Hungary), but all I got was a painter with that name from the mid - late 1800s?
    Did my guy sell his works?
    Thanks everyone
