Estate Sale Find

My father came across this and others at an estate sale. Not sure what the value is but couldn’t find much info online. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

 

Hum... Souk at Azrou. Morocco. 1968. Etching. Berber tents. Artist looks like E. Valè. Anything on the back?

Debora

 

Thank you for your reply. Here’s a photo of the back.

 

I'm laughing. You do see there's a stamp on back? Would you be kind enough to post a close-up photograph?

Debora

 

OMG, yes. I’ll ask my father to send me a better pic of the stamp.

 

I tried cropping it.

 

Laughing again.. Well, there's your information about the artist. Would, of course, help if wire wasn't running through it.

 

From what I can see... E. Valès held a diplôme d'État and he exhibited at the Salon des artistes français. So he was French which, of course, was most likely.

Try Edmond Valès. 1918-200l. Not sure what value is but lots of interest in Morocco these days and done before mass tourism arrived there of a location still not on the beaten track.

Debora

 

Great info! Thanks again!

 

This is a picture of the other one he purchased.

 

Can't see much when they are sideways:

 

Sorry about that, thanks, LOL!

 

Moroccan as well. But impossible to read titles because of quality of photographs.

Debora

 

Here’s a close up of one of the pictures.

 

Fernando, would you be kind enough to make sure that your photographs are posted right side up and as Full Image?

The title reads Moulay Idriss, Morocco. A very important place.

Thanks for the info. Sorry about the photo. First time posting today and I thought the orientation of the photo was correct. I’ll do my best to figure out the editing function. Thanks again.

 

It takes every new member a while to figure out the photograph thing. Not a problem at all. It does get easier.
