I found this nice etching at a local thrift store. $10 Total dimensions 12x14" (29x35cm) Image dimensions 6x9" (15x22cm) I'm having trouble deciphering the signature. It's dated 1925 in lower left with artists monogram. MJF? MTF? Martes Fuegerhauer? The Internet has yielded nothing. I opened up the back, and there is no writing inside. Any suggestions are welcome!
my signature contains only 3 letters of my 1st name and 3 letters of my last name... good thing I'm not an artist !!!
Hey, I like that idea! When I worked in a store, one of our regular customers used to sign his credit card receipt with a little doodle. He made a different doodle every time, like a weird face or squiggly lines. I don't know how he got away with that.
Because no one checks them unless you call and say it wasn't you and there's a fraud investigation. Signatures are no longer even required by CC companies. I used to sign as "Batman" until even that took too long and now I just draw a line. Legally any mark you make can be considered your signature. What are they gonna do? Give you a dirty look?
Marta Fliegerbauer? I don't think the name matters very much in this case. It is a nice impression, probably by a local artist.
@Debora @Any Jewelry Both of you helped immensely! After some new searches of "Fliegerbauer" It turns out that the name is actually Max Josef(Jos.) Fliegerbauer! I must also thank @komokwa for seeing "Max" in the first place! It was a group effort!
Thanks Any! I saw Fuegerhauer. Apparently I know nothing...haha! I'm glad I posted to get some new eyes on that signature. You are a fountain of knowledge!
Ah, full name brings up lots of examples of his work. Particularly like this one. https://grafikliebhaber.de/article/N002810/Fliegerbauer,+Max+Josef Debora
