    Hi guys, another £1 charity shop find here, I thought it was a print but having removed from frame to me it looks like an original, though I can't be sure, there seems to be a lot of texture but the style almost looks engraved still with the sort of "scratched" look? What medium do you think this is?

    Also I think the signature is "M H Long" but in bottom left there is a monogram, what would it suggest that this is a work by more than 1 artist (again leading me to think it could be engraved), it just doesn't seem like a normal engraving somehow?

    Any thoughts on any of this is appreciated thanks!

    Is that a tiny "remarque" in the margin, lower right?

    The signature in the grass (lower right) looks like Mc H Lord to me. I wonder whether the FB monogram could be an engraver?

    Thanks for the replies guys! So I'm none the wiser if this is a lithograph or not, do they have texture to them? Either way if it is it could be worth $12 or $4900 from those links lol :greedy:

    I'd guess chromo with that wear along the edge. I don't think you'd see wear like that on a watercolor.

    You were spot on with the Myles Birket Foster by the way!

    So most definitely a chromolithograph by M H Long, reading on the technique so much work must have gone in to it, definitely worth £1 anyway! Thanks for all the help again guys.
