<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lva483, post: 1002598, member: 8774&quot;]After looking at it closer and comparing it to other examples, I&#039;m 99% convinced it&#039;s a&nbsp; linocut. Also, after doing more research, I was wrong in assuming this was a night scene. The &quot;star&quot; is actually the sun (and the sun is a star...).&nbsp; I referred to Native American symbols and it&#039;s identical. </p><p><br /></p><p>I found some artists that are kind&#039;ve similar, Juan Pino and Andy Chuka, and there&#039;s also a lot of information on the history/printmakers in Mexico but haven&#039;t had any eureka moments- I didn&#039;t even hit on anything similar in terms of the artist monogram on the artistsignatures website.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the more I look at it, I&#039;m not totally convinced it&#039;s from a book. The paper is perfectly cut- 6⅜” x 4⅜” (it&#039;s hard to tell as the print is not perfectly centered) and the paper seems &quot;special&quot;. Don&#039;t get me wrong, I have plenty of antique books with plates glued or taped in and I&#039;ve seen old portfolios but I just don&#039;t know if that is the case here. I&#039;m starting to wonder if the phone book page in the frame is a clue... maybe one of the businesses made the plate for this print?</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, I just noticed some pencil writing on the backing paper of the frame. &quot;#2000ML $395ea&quot;. I purchased this at a thrift store but maybe this was in an estate sale?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks so much to everyone taking a gander at this, I very much appreciate it and everyone on this form in general. I love seeing the interesting antiques people post, sharing knowledge, and group sleuthing- it genuinely makes me feel very happy. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
