<p>[QUOTE=&quot;aaroncab, post: 279378, member: 3974&quot;]Thrift find from the other day - framed metal intaglio printing plate (the actual plate) - frame is labeled &quot;Grabado&quot; which I believe translates to engraving or engraved in Spanish. It is a heavy solid wood frame with &quot;Made in Spain&quot; stamped on the back.&nbsp; The dimensions of the plate (visible portion) are 12&quot; x 8.5&quot;. The etched scene is about 9&quot; x 6&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the plate itself is &quot;UN RECONOCIMIENTO - dibujo por R.C. Woodville&quot;&nbsp; - I&#039;ve found various translations for &quot;reconocimiento&quot; including recognition, appreciation, reconnaissance, scout. Given the content of the drawing - perhaps it&#039;s one of the latter, reconnaissance or scout. </p><p><br /></p><p>So... I&#039;m assuming this is an etching done for printing of one of RC Woodville&#039;s drawings or paintings. I read up on Woodville - there was a Sr and a Jr. - Jr. being the more prolific artist famous for his military/battle scenes (early 19th to early 20th century) - so I believe this to be from Woodville Jr. </p><p><br /></p><p>Google image search hasn&#039;t provided me with a match on this - and taking clear pictures of this has proven tricky - it is highly reflective. Any ideas on what this scene is representing? </p><p><br /></p><p>~</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]89041[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]89042[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]89043[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]89044[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
