Vintage E. Zampighi Litograph What's WJD

I bought out a lot of items and this vintage lithograph was with items.Behind glass,I looked with loupe and didn't look like a print.I can't understand what does the letters "WJD" mean.Measure 29"x37".Has a "C" for copyright I guess

 

I'm not seeing what you are asking about in your photos, but sounds like the printer's mark.

 

It's in the corner behind the chicken,lower left hand

 

Do you have any idea who the "WJD" is

 

Printer.

 

Is it a copyright symbol or an O? I can't tell.

It seems to be easier to find his paintings than prints of his paintings!

 

There's a c inside a circle for copyright and WJD

 

I was looking earlier and he seems to be very popular in the giclee market. Don't know if that's why all the "paintings" popping up ... because I kind of gave up searching.

 

Thanks,I was looking also,just didn't know who WJD is.

 

Wow

Etsy seller has this print for between $15 and $130 by size! (I don't know what kind of print you have)

"The Peasants Treasure" by E. Zampighi

 

I'm not sure look like an older lithograph,has nails to hold the back in.

 

Show Pic of the back, but looks like newer frame and matte. (sp?)

 

Ok I'll post tomorrow,Have to charge batteries up,back has paper,I peek inside top and saw small nails

 

The frame, matte and backing all look relatively new.

I'm assuming you meant you don't see dots with a loupe, so it could be a giclee or a lithograph someone had framed.

 

Right

 

The WJD sure has me stumped.... I'm usually pretty good about finding out copyright and trade mark stuff....

 

I'm seeing OWJD, not a copyright symbol. More precisely, I see OW J D It would be good to see just that little bit hidden under the matte.

 

If it helps, the title is "Amusing Stories"
