[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 436048, member: 56"]I think it says "pinx et sculpt", which means it's his engraving of a painting he did. I've never seen a signature that brags of being someone's student. I can't tell anything from the photos. You'll have to find something that is reliably original to compare. Are there other engravings besides these, and did he sign them the same way? I've had repros of mid-19thC fashion plates. There were a number of ways to tell those, but most of all the colors, which were photo-mechanically printed and so had that dot matrix appearance.[/QUOTE]
