[QUOTE="FunkeysFinds, post: 1306, member: 83"]Hello - I typically don't purchase many pieces of art for resale as I seem to have trouble ID'ing them. I have a collection of 15 or so vintage pictures, watercolors and etchings that I've hidden away over many years that I'm slowly tackling. This is a recent purchase from a few months ago - I purchased it for a couple dollars and it came with several other items from the same estate. I bought it at the time because it was cheap and it was clearly old. That doesn't equate to anything valuable, however. Since this is so far from my realm, I'm lost. At times it looks like stone lithography, but parts of it look like it was completed in pencil. It is possible it was completed many years by a local artist who did a local scene. I think that the image or 'stamp' in the bottom left corner is near match of the actual main image itself. If I am reading the artists name correctly, it is Wm. C. Moore. Would folks recommend removing the back? It looks like it may have been removed at some point. I took the pictures outside so the actual colors would be true. Thank you, Cory [IMG]http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/006_047.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/024_034.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/047_040.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/029_034.JPG[/IMG][/QUOTE]
