Featured help with signed print (what kind of print)

hi guys

this was something i picked up for £3, thought it might be worth a gamble

might just be worth £3 !!

was wondering what kind of print it was ( no ben day dots)

presuming the details are russian ? i tried to google the words on label but my keyboard hasn't got a backwards N

cant find zilch

any thoughts or help appreciated

 

Looks like a woodcut, pretty nice, good buy!

 

I think it's rather nice, Charlie! Love the kitty on the porch.

Has the look of some kind of "block print."

 

thanks blooey

 

I agree with @blooey on all counts.

And maybe @Figtree3 or @Natasha can help with the writing.

 

thanks bakers, yeah i like the kitty as well, hes waiting patiently for his owner to get back i think

 

I have the feeling that I've seen this image before.

 

thanks jivvy

 

Pretty long!

Use an online Russian keyboard such as the one here: http://winrus.com/keyboard.htm with an online translator.

That won't work with the handwritten parts, but I can only read some of that. The artist's name is on there but is handwritten and I can't read it for sure. Another person who can help is @April07 --

It says that the technique is linogravure, which I think is the same as what we would call linocut in English --https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linocut

The very last line says it was made in 1988.

I'll let you translate the rest of the printed part yourself, using the keyboard above. Unless a native speaker shows up and will translate it all. For me, I'd have to look up too many words to figure it out... the online keyboard and translator would be quicker.

But you did ask what kind of print it is, so maybe I helped with an essential part.

 

thanks fig, velly velly awesome help

 

woman - just keep walking hes not gonna intimidate you today

cat - just you try coming in lady

 

it's somber....but very easy on the eyes.... nice !!! nicer find !

 

Cheers buddy, somber is a great way of describing it

Definite Russian ambience !!

 

I think you missed the footprints down the stairs and out the gate....

 

it's really a well conceived work of art...

 

Ahh I did, that's changed everything !!!

Good spot komo

 

It's russian, he author's name is Popov, tipical russian country landscape. 500 copies was printed in 1988. The title is "Winter". The price in rubles is also on the lable (3.5 rubbles), but I don't think it matters now.

 

Great info Lena, thank you for your time

 

I forgot to say that I actually like the print very much. And it was easy for me to get the information as I am russian.

 

And welcome to Antiquers, @Lena345 ! Sorry that I missed welcoming you when you joined. It's good to have another native Russian speaker here. -- Just to introduce myself, I am not a native speaker. I am American who studied Russian in college. That has been years ago now. But I always loved the Russian language and people. I've tried to keep up my language knowledge.
