<p>[QUOTE="CheersDears, post: 2740356, member: 2131"]I may have answered my questions, if the artist known as Snaffles was also sometimes known as After Snaffles. Descriptions such as "After 'Snaffles' [Charles Johnson Payne] - '1915-16, That Far Far-Away Echo', colour print, signed in pencil, approx 36cm x 45.5cm have had me bamboozled for decades. Why would anyone "pencil-sign" a hand-coloured litho "after" someone?</p><p><br /></p><p>Was he called After Snaffles? Does anyone know? If so, then hope springs afresh that this cheap purchase from a tatty auction house maybe 25 years ago might be genuinely pencil-signed, and not some repro in some After someone style.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems there are various versions of this print, some including a fox and some with dates, and that Charles Payne signed wherever he felt like it.

Why would anyone "pencil-sign" a hand-coloured litho "after" someone? Was he called After Snaffles? Does anyone know?

It seems there are various versions of this print, some including a fox and some with dates, and that Charles Payne signed wherever he felt like it.
