    These look quite convincingly like drypoint intaglio prints, but they aren’t; they are reproductions. I might have seen that had I spent more time examining them in the store, but I didn’t, so I’m offering them to whoever wants them. They are good object lessons in reproduced graphic prints, and you can get an idea of what to look for in a drypoint, and they are attractive pictures – crisper than in the photos and suitable for framing. Both are by the same artist (I don’t know who) whose name appears in the lower right. I don’t know which church is shown, but the tower is the Peace Tower at the Canadian Parliament buildings in Ottawa.

    Both pieces of paper have faux plate impressions. On the church picture, it’s just an embossed outline (you won’t find that on a real print). On the tower picture it looks more like a real plate impression, but the image is offset – on one side it extends beyond the plate – impossible on a real print. Both prints show a very fine dot matrix, which I didn’t notice until I started looking at the photos.

    The church print measures about 10” by 7 ½”. The tower picture is about ¼” shorter and looks to have been trimmed across the top. Each image is about 6 ½” by 5”.

    Drypoints are made by using a very fine point to draw the image directly onto a printing plate.

    Really, really cheap packing (not risk free) and shipping free of charge. Unframed. I’ll pop them in a manila envelope and off they go!

    Hi,
    The prints arrived today. They certainly do look real when you first look at them. I shall frame them and let the relations fight over them when I am gone.:rolleyes:
    Thanks so much.

    Hi Komokwa,
    I mean when I am gone, kaput, dead. Being almost 80 is enough for me. I thought for sure that I would be gone by 50. So every day is a blessing or a curse.

    Is that then a 'blurse' or a 'cursing'?

    Greg....I share your thoughts , & know all to well exactly what you mean.....

    But.....I was goofin around....& you'll likely still be alive at 85 .....so the prints aren't going anywhere either !
