[QUOTE="soaduk, post: 318034, member: 6455"]Hi guys I'm new here and only a couple of years into my newfound love of antiques and art (I moved to a really old house and now everything I buy has to match!) So these pictures I bought for £3 each from a charity shop today, I liked them as soon as I saw them, and then turning them over realised they seem to have quite a bit of age to them. The first 2 I have looked up the artist Rappini and found he did watercolours in the late C19th, and some of these are selling for £1000's(!) I just wondered how can I tell what these are, they look so old and yet good quality, compared to most the prints I have seen. Is there any way without taking them out of the frames of telling if they're originals or prints? And even if they are prints would they have any value? The bigger one I am pretty sure must be a print of a J Nash original, but the only mention I can find of this image is dated at 1873, and this has the date of 1844? Also the quality seems incredibly fine, is it a coloured etching or something along those lines? The text under reads "Fireplace, gatehouse, Kenilworth" as far as I can tell. Hard to do them justice with a mobile phone camera but here we go!
