Message:: [QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 41676, member: 59"]Here's a smidgen of info on the "forgery" allegations. Hopefully the link I attach will work for you. Contained within an article about a Rost work donated to an historical society, it says that a Rost family rep. told them that Fishel, Adler and Schwartz had an office boy sign "rejected" copies with Rost's name, which were then sold as if he had approved them. You'll have to scroll down in the newsletter to about the third page to see. <a href="http://www.goshenhistorical.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/2013-March-April.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.goshenhistorical.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/2013-March-April.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.goshenhistorical.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/2013-March-April.pdf</a> There are lots of queries about Rost's work having the Fishel, Adler and Schwartz name as publisher or copyright in the upper margin. Not knowing when the view of Venice was done (except the claim in the bio 'Nuff copied here that Rost did no etchings after the lawsuit) I suppose it is possible that he engaged another firm for printing and perhaps? signed with the altered name to avoid a contract problem with his former agents?[/QUOTE]
