<p>[QUOTE=&quot;steve lunn, post: 4371436, member: 52453&quot;]Hi, I&#039;m new to this site and didn&#039;t know what to expect, so thanks for your comments so far and I will try my best to answer questions. I bought the picture from an auction house in the UK, it was described as a watercolour. It is not like a watercolour as I had been used to seeing. My research has found that the pre raphaelites used &#039;Laid&#039; paper, which is smooth, they also used gouache. I&#039;m pretty sure it is an original of the period, the paper is glued around the frame and there is a join on the right hand side, top to bottom, going through the globe. This area doesn&#039;t look as well painted particularly on the globe. I will post a shot of the back and close up of signature areas, I&#039;m having trouble with making the 1mb limit so I&#039;ll do my best, any tips on achieving this?</p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
