    cobbler rag man print Actual Size is 9 3/4" X 13 5/8" looks like an R with 2 tt in the middle.

    the Vatican and gondolas framed size is 15 1/2" X 18 1/2" What are those black lines because this one has no glass protection. How was the color added?

    The Cityscape print's incised plate measurement is 10 1/2" X 13" E Jacobis

    The first is a lithograph and the following two I believe to be Intaglio prints 20201119_175914.jpg 20201119_180047.jpg 20201120_150249.jpg 20201120_161610.jpg 20201120_161708.jpg 20201120_161713.jpg 20201120_161732.jpg 20201120_160021.jpg 20201120_160206.jpg 20201120_160220.jpg

    The one of Venice is the only one worth anything substantial.
    It is an etching by Hans Figura.

    I have a few of his pieces, sometimes he prints on silk as well as paper.

    The Vatican is not in Venice. St. Mark's, perhaps?

    The first one is a lithograph by Seymour Rosenthal: "Street Vendor".

    The first one reminds me of the very small town near where I was raised.
    We had a 'rag picker' who was a Jewish immigrant and pushed a cart around town collecting anything anyone was throwing away. Unknown to a lot of people, he had 3 sons who he put thru college (Penn) and a daughter who died when she was 18. He was crushed as she was the apple of his heart.
    To complete this story, the 3 sons carried on their father's business on a much larger scale becoming junk dealers in major each coast city - now called recyclers!

    I have 2 Figura prints and I don't know how the color was done. It looks like wood block to me, which is possible - some relief process. Easily could be wrong.

    Here's a detail from one of my prints:

    That could be aquatint, but there seems to me to be some kind of color registration thing going on and I don't know how that would be achieved.

    Here are some enlarged images there is overlap color combination MOS. Are those poles or what? 20201122_142320.jpg 20201122_142322.jpg 20201122_142349.jpg 20201122_142404.jpg 20201122_142426.jpg

    Apparently those are mooring poles for gondolas. I think the prints are an etching/aquatint combination, but I don't know how the color was added.
