    Found this 1969 engraving done on hand made paper signed Patric. Has a seal in the lower right corner. Have not been able to find any information about this.

    I'm not so sure I would call this an engraving. Looks like the colored areas are "raised?" Not to mention all the shiny bits. Is there a "plate impression?"

    Yes there is a plate impression. The green border around the image is the impression. All the shint areas only show when using the flash of my camera.

    It says Hecho en Mexico (Made in Mexico)
    Are you investigating Mexican artists?

    kardinalisimo had a similar thing posted on the board a while back.
    Try Googling temple rubbing with Aztec, Mayan, etc.

    It's got what looks like a Dept. of Anthropology blind stamp, which suggests an officially sanctioned something. I'd think temple rubbing is a good bet. Doesn't look like an engraving.

    The stamp is from the national institute of anthropolgy and history. It has a registration number 28 and 1969 copyright date for artist, Patric. You might try contacting the institute.

    Otherwise known as "Patty." One of my pet peeves - instead of Paddy. Did we just hijack this thread? Faith and begorrah!

    Think artist is most likely a he. Patric would be short for "Patricio."

    Oh, and it probably represents the birth of Quetzalcoatl.

    Why don't you post photographs of the other two works you have by this same artist?
