William Carmichael printer European Architectural print Held ID scene and Artist?

22" X 27 1/2"

There are so many nails I was hoping to ID it without removing it from the frame.

 

It's a post-1963 print. Unlikely to have much value.

Thanks, Debora

 

s it a print of a drawing etching or other?

 

It's really hard to see in your photographs. Is there anything printed along the bottom along with "© William Edward Carmichael, "Post Office Box 200," and "McLean, Virginia 22101?" And that text is printed on the sheet, right? It looks to be a machine-produced print (a step up from a xerox) of what I assume is a copy of an artwork depicting a Baroque period palace. What the original medium would have been dunno. Can't imagine what the purpose of yours was. A promotional piece for a business perhaps? Odd as to why copyrighted. Odd as to why p.o. box. And why name and address are in different fonts. Can't find any trace of Charles Edward Carmichael. Value is in frame.

I will remove those nails gotta know what under there.

 

Don't blame you.

My amature guess on the scene Religion Russian Zsars, definitely baroque. ( Catherine )

What type of paper is this?

What duplication process was used to reproduce?
Thanks

 

I don't see any religious imagery. I don't see anything that would indicate the scene is Russian or related to the Tsars. Possible that the figures represent the 4 cardinals but can't tell from the close-up photographs of only 2. It was created on a printing press. Sometime after 1963. Can't tell much about paper from photographs but appears to be low weight, non-white. If you haven't already done so, I suggest you do a Google Images search and see if you can identify the original work.

I've tried to find the original with no success. Curious to know what it is and hope there's a title under the mat. I thought the elliptical arch might make the search easier, but it didn't for me.

I agree it's a modern reprint showing a baroque interior. I expect the original will turn out to be an engraving (likely after a painting) and probably late 17thC or early 18thC

 

Your expectation likely correct.

Okay, google image I wonder if the size of the image would make a difference because the original images had to be reduced to be posted on the forum. Thanks, mos.

Maybe the copyright is related to the paper.

 

Sorry for the drama on this one Turn out to be the copyright for antiques and old fashioned figure scene of wrapping paper copyright.
Why it was framed I will never know.

Well, that all makes sense. Explains the quality of the paper, copyright, etc. Thanks so much for sharing.
