Message:: [QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 3611536, member: 33"]Pinxit, often abbreviated as "pinx," or even just the letter "p" was often used on prints of an earlier era to indicate who was responsible for a work of art. And "sculp" or "scult" is the engraver. Too bad there is only one initial. The label on the back was either from a framer or a place that sold pre-framed art. The Galerie des Tuileries, from what I can tell, was near the Louvre in Paris. Google indicates it is "permanently closed." So it may have recently still been open? The label itself has a font that appears to be from some time in the 20th century. Either Art Deco period (1920s-1930s) or later. Some fonts like that were used later, in the 1960s for example. It's hard for me to tell the era that your copy of the print was made. It could have been put into its current frame much later than when the print was made... or that may be the original frame.[/QUOTE]
