[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4527735, member: 84"]I found this today at a thrift store today. I looked the artist Karl Wilkes & the print History Lesson #5 up and saw it is selling for over $2,000! But it said the print was 30" x 40" and when I measured mine it is 26" x 30" inside edge of frame to inside edge of frame including the black & the visible art itself is only 26.5" x 18.5"? Mine says it is #10 of a 200 edition which is the same as what it says on the different websites I found it. But they also say Masterpiece Edition? Was there a different - smaller - edition besides Masterpiece Edition that was also a limited edition? Could mine be a copy/print someone made? (the edition # looks good as does the signature) Ant help would be appreciated; I'm not sure what I have & don't want to try to sell it until I know. Thank you [ATTACH=full]399892[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]399893[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]399894[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]399895[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]399896[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]399896[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]399897[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]399898[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]399899[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]399900[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
