Depression Era Picture - Is this pointilism?

<p>[QUOTE="OldWhitby, post: 4271029, member: 17301"]I've had this depression era tape framed picture for a number of years. I've always assumed it was a print but recently I got out the loupe and this is what I found. Is this pointilism? - it looks like several shades of brown and gray. Is it an original? Does the signature, E.Wilson, mean anything to any body. There is some writing on the back (last picture) but I doubt if it will provide any clues.</p><p>On a related topic, my parents came of age in the depression and there were always a couple of these tape framed pictures around the house and cottage. I've always referred to them as tape-framed but when I did a google search, I got zero hits. Are they called something else? I've always understood they were depression era but was this practice used before the 1930s? - perhaps earlier depressions? I'm in Canada.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]340364[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]340365[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]340366[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]340367[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]340368[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]340369[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]340373[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
