    Charity shop buy. Can make out all the text except the signature, any suggestions please? (Hoping it was a Royal Academy exhibit but they usually have a RA label on the back, however this etching may have been reframed later)
    Thanks for any help.

    Looks 1930s from the clothing.

    Thanks very much Marote, I was really struggling with this one.
    Looks like this work was completed after 1904 when he did get to exhibit a piece of work in the Royal Academy and he added the R.A. after his signature after that.

    I agree.

    With that handwriting it was indeed a hard one to find. When I figured out that what I first read as 'Schiklór R.A.', was actually 'Exhibitor R.A.', I googled for "etching" and "Exhibitor R.A.", resulting in that link to Ebay. :happy:
