Recently bought a house and found a docked sailboat lithograph print 90/275; stamped 8154. Can see part of embossed seal on damaged description from The Collectors Guild Ltd on back. Unable to decipher last name of artist; E. Vail H??? Can anyone provide information on name of artist or value of print? Thx

Sorry about that Docked Sailboat by DL37 posted Sep 11, 2022 at 6:07 PM Docked Sailboat by DL37 posted Sep 11, 2022 at 6:06 PM Docked Sailboat by DL37 posted Sep 11, 2022 at 6:04 PM Docked Sailboat Signature by DL37 posted Sep 11, 2022 at 6:02 PM
I think the town could be Villefranche-sur-Mer, my favourite on the Côte d'Azur, southern France. The boat could also be from Provence, Vincent van Gogh painted similar boats on the beach at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, further west. (As an aside, there is also always one on the beach during the yearly Gypsy pilgrimage to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.)
So it is. It is probably the angle the litho was photographed in, but I kept seeing a domed church tower, like you see in Villefranche, in nearby Saint Tropez as well.
