<p>[QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 2518860, member: 602"]I have a small etching....in the lower left corner is a hand written "A/P"....does that mean 'artist's proof'?? And if so, does that add or take away anything from the etching?? OR what else does it mean??? I've had it forever and never opened it, but noticed it's not the 'cleanest' image when I looked REALLY close at it.....not enough to bother me, but was just wondering??? The whole paper it's on is 9-1/8" x 7-1/2", but the actual etching itself is 2-1/2" x 4-3/4". It's "embossed into the center.....I'm pretty positive there's no 'significant' value here, but am just curious!!! I have looked <b>Rachel Badeau</b> (the artist) up and saw one other of the same print "One In Every Crowd" was listed for $60-100 and sold for $30, I believe it was in 2011 at Invaluable. I also noticed that one had the same A/P in the LL Corner..... Thanks in advance.....<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]268310[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
