<p>[QUOTE="Antiquer, post: 225856, member: 4308"]Indeed! Fairly sure the number 32 points to the year and not the edition and that and the symbols around the number are letters, so also fairly that it is a monogram/signature (many artists engraved their monogram or signature in their works so that they were insured that their signature always stayed on the work, even if they would trim or frame away their signature in pencil). If it was a numbering than most of the time this would be written down in pencil and it would also tell you which edition it is. For example 43/50 (print number 43 of an edition of only 50 pieces), yours is maybe a one-of or a open edition (depends how much the artist respected himself).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
