<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7539, post: 379396, member: 7973&quot;]Hi everyone. I bought a painting two years ago from an estate sale of an ex mayor of Miami. The painting was by George Newell Bower. Not a well known artist and not particularly valuable. The painting interior matches another one of his paintings so everything appears in order. However, the canvas is mounted to a board. The board, after Id&#039;ing the name on the back, wasn&#039;t produced until a few years after the artist died. The painting is dated 1887 I think.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My question is, was it common to mount a canvas after painting to a wall board of some sort?&nbsp; Or is someone playing an elaborate trick for no reason, as I said, the painting is not valuable. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for everyone&#039;s opinion...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
