From the size of the print I can see why the walk home was a bit, er, troublesome. Especially if the frame was falling apart. Tintin's right about the auction house idea.

Of course, everyone immediately blames the hot blooded Italian for foul play involving a knife, but old Zio Umberto swears he is innocent....he is thrown in the brig, but when the S.S. Werra reaches New York, Umberto will have his revenge, Genoa style......<br /><br />Something like that?Giuseppehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11582043853388196139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-47151380899933944912009-10-25T02:28:54.024-07:002009-10-25T02:28:54.024-07:00Great print.

No harm whatsoever in doing so and it might allow you to give free rein to your imagination and come up with a nice piece of creative writing.Old Schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11144953018591590369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-5679310491399723512009-10-24T20:33:39.689-07:002009-10-24T20:33:39.689-07:00That is so boss.

I'm as cheap as you are, and as fond of keeping found objects in their original condition but that is a valuable print and you should take care that all conservation issues in the matting and backing are seen to. Also, you can't use the term "shabby chic" because she trademarked it, throwing hundreds of thousands of ebayers into violation panic. She got hers, though, when her stores went bankrupt.Ebenezer Howard, Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01993007310271639468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-77822015287387886422009-10-24T09:45:48.152-07:002009-10-24T09:45:48.152-07:00Take some snaps and email to them to an auction ho...Take some snaps and email to them to an auction house with a decent books and prints expert. Freeman's in Philadelphia has a good one. They'll give you an estimate as to the value gratis. Not that you'd ever sell it.
