I reciently became interested in etchings, after seeing an artists work during a local open studio tour. I couldn't afford one from the artist, but I have been looking in goodwill. This large etching was sitting in the window of one on the shops I frequent. I picked it up and I could tell it was a quality frame. It was titled, dated, signed, and was 16/50. I learned that the most desired prints are the fearlier ones, so that was a good sign. The frame had a sticker indicating it was framed in Lower Manhattan (another good sign). I decided to purchase it for $9.99.
When I got home I did some research
