<p>[QUOTE="rink28, post: 177146, member: 2498"]interesting find. about two days ago we had a large trash pick up by my grandpas neighborhood. everybody had a whole bunch of stuff in their front yard ready to be picked up by the garbage truck the next day. as i was driving around looking at what people had in their front yard to be thrown out i drove by this picture. so i turned around and went back to look at it closer. i got out and walked up to it and notice the frame had age to it and so i looked on the back side and notice the paper covering the back. i ripped a little bit off to get a better view of the back of the canvas and notice flat head nails and the canvas was pretty stained so i figured it must have some age to it. the signature appears to be "langabeer" and a date that says 1897 underneath. so was wondering if i did the right thing by grabbing it or should i just of left it be? i figured hey its free and the people didnt want it anymore so why not take it!i tried to doing some online research when i got home but didnt come across much. was wondering if anyone had any info on the artist and era? thank you for your time![ATTACH=full]49223[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]49224[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]49224[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]49225[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
