<p>[QUOTE=&quot;drg642, post: 10017499, member: 74&quot;]This Louis Icart Illusion print was purchased from someone who says they bought it at a thrift store, for what that’s worth.&nbsp; I’ve looked at a lot of Illusion prints and etchings on-line and am confused as to what I have and whether it has anything more than decorative value.&nbsp; Any help is appreciated.&nbsp; I am mostly concerned about describing it correctly, and about not selling something as decorative art if it is significantly better than that.</p><p><br /></p><p>The image, not including the signature or any margin is 11 x 5 inches, matted it is 19 x 12.5 inches, framed it is 23 x 16.5 inches.</p><p><br /></p><p>The image has dots, the numbering does not, and the signature also does not look like it has dots to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw 3 other examples that had similar numbering out of 500. </p><p><br /></p><p>204/500 is described as “a limited edition serigraph signed by the artist himself, produced in 1940.”&nbsp; It’s on offer on ebay for $639.</p><p><br /></p><p>208/500 is described as “a signed Limited Edition Lithograph,” on offer on ebay for $1400.</p><p>Also saw that 208/500 sold at Auctions by the Bay in 2004 for $150, framed similar to mine, described as “offset lithograph printed in colors, signed as part of image, numbered in pencil.”</p><p><br /></p><p>125/500 sold at Rogallery, I don’t know for how much, and is described as “a 1990 Giclee, numbered in pencil.”&nbsp; There is also an entry on-line for this item auctioned by Rogallery in 2019, and passed, with an estimate of $700-900.</p><p><br /></p><p>My assessment is that I have a nice Limited Edition print, hand numbered in pencil, worth less than the $639 that nobody is buying it for on ebay. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any confirmation/correction of what I think would be appreciated.&nbsp; Also, I think the signature is printed, not real, but I would like to understand why the print itself has dots from the printing process while the signature does not.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have read this far, I really appreciate it.&nbsp; Seems like a lot to ask!&nbsp; Thanks for any help or comments.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]503123[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]503124[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]503125[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]503126[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]503127[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]503128[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]503129[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]503130[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]503131[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]503132[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
