<p>[QUOTE="Lithographer, post: 9438287, member: 13308"]I purchased this at an antique shop in the small town where I live. It is drawn on the back of some sort of printed document, letterpress I think. It is not signed. It has been laid down to a piece of black paper like this construction paper. I can see 3 distinct character sizes and the body of the document appears to be in all caps. It is possible it is typed on stationary. The paper is slightly smaller than standard 8 1/2" by 11", about an 1/8 shorter each way. The drawing is done in graphite. I did some research on the poster board and it looks like it was used a lot in the 1960's. I suspect that is when it was framed. I was hoping that folks could take a look and make comments as to elements that might help me to identify age and if the style of the drawing (ie. hand of the artist) looks in anyway familiar. I was also hoping someone could work some magic on the photos of the embossed letters, maybe flip (mirror image) and highlight? Any comments appreciated.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]438015[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]438016[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]438017[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]438018[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]438019[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]438020[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]438021[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]438023[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]438024[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
