    Can anyone help identify if this lithograph (attached photo's) is a reproduction or really an antique? Any value or interest?

    What does it say on the tag? I was unable to make your picture of the whole thing bigger than your attachment, You have plenty of room available in the 1MB limit.

    Every picture requires me to downsize so I had to make another of the tag

    Are you using a camera or your phone? And if you phone, what kind?

    You should be able to reduce the pixel size of your images enough by emailing to yourself as "medium" size, save to your computer and then post here (using the Upload a File) process.

    You can make them full size, which helps.

    I'd guess it is one that Currier published, not a print by some later entity, but not really my field.

    Additional information. One of a series of 15. Currier before Ives.

    Didn't know what a resaca was so looked it up. It's a meander or curve in a river. So the location of the print "Resaca de la Palma" is named for a curve with a palm tree (seen to the far left) on the Rio Grande.

    The frame looks original. Be sure to leave it as is with the print. It it behind glass? And it would be helpful if you posted a photograph of the back including frame.
