Charcoal mountain road painting signed

I bought this today at my local thrift store for $1.00 because glass was broken and they thought it was a print. I removed from frame and part of it was smeared on glass.
It measures 26 inches long, I cannot make out the signature, can anyone here make it out ?

Thank You

Pastels, not charcoal. Friszle?

 

Fristh?

 

Frisch, these are almost as common as Chandler pastel paintings.

Yes, charcoal is black.

 

Funny you should say that

It's thought that most of these were painted in a factory, run by Chandler, there's a couple other names used but I can't think of them now.

 

Thanks, been searching that name too no luck.

 

Yup, I forgot.

 

It does look very similar to Chandler's work.

Thanks everyone for all your help. now I can have a good nights sleep..

 

An excerpt on Ancestors saying it might be this guy
Heinrich Ludwig Frische

 

I'd never have thought of checking Ancestors. Good one.

 

haha, good one...

 

Thanks, I will check this guys name. Thanks for your help..

 

Just checked Heinrich Ludwig Fische. Looks like he only painted in oils.

 

He was mentioned in a book about pastel painters. ill look it up again

 

I haven't been able to find the book but this is what was said in ancestry

Frish painted in the 19/20 century and probably Heinrich Ludwig Frisch and died in the very early 1900's. there is a book on pastels of this era you can go see the book athttp://www.doorpi.net/~jwhitney there are a few painting of frish mentioned in this book.

This is an old posting and the links don't work.
