<p>[QUOTE="blankwalls, post: 133569, member: 1997"]I saw this paper print in a thrift shop and was drawn to it but I'd like to find out more about it before buying. It is framed and matted under glass. Framed size is 31.5" x 25.5", mat opening is 23" x 17". No signature, number, or any other info is visible which leads me to believe the mat may be covering part of the image -- or maybe not? The back is covered with plain brown paper.</p><p><br /></p><p>The seller knows nothing about the item but I found out through internet research that the subject is John Mytton with his dogs and is from the mid 1800s. Christie's auction house sold a print of this in 2006 for $555 USD and they listed the full title as "John Mytton Esq., on a chestnut hunter, with his hounds, in an extensive landscape, published by W.Smith, 1841."</p><p><br /></p><p>Is there a way to at least attempt to discern the era this was printed and therefore its approximate value, before I make an offer?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]34469[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]34470[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
