[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4489904, member: 84"]I took it out of the frame - it has been glued/mounted to a board. The board has some water damage, but it didn't reach the print - there is also a measurement 2 1/2 written in pencil on the back of the matting (you can see water damage to right of measurement on photo of matting in last photo) It also has his initials written in pencil on the board - just under the bottom right edge of the print where it is mounted to board, under the plate signature - did M.C. Escher ever sign anything with his initials? I also measured it from edge to edge - it is 19" x 19.2"?(I think it's .2; it's the first line after the 19 - see photo of tape measure next to last photo) - odds are this is just a print or poster, but does anyone know of one that was made in the same size/measurements of the original woodblock print? I don't see any "printed in china" or printed in france" or any printing company name - even if just a poster/print; is there any way to tell it's age, or if it has any value? Thank you - again - for any additional information! PSS - The ragged edge you see in first 3 photos is tape - when I tried to remove it, it tore the corner of the board (see photo 3), so I had to cut it along the board edge with scissors to make it fairly smooth so I can put it in another frame!
