Paint-16 This etching is of Neptune's Fountain in Nuremburg and is signed by Albrecht Bruck. Best guess on date is circa 1920, at which time Bruck would have been 46 years old. The print is an original and features crisp forms, strong modeling (chiaroscuro) formed by hatching and cross-hatching, which is typical of the intaglio printing techniques (etching and engraving). Good contrast of lights and darks, very much in the realistic travelogue style that had been popular in the second half of the 19th century. Frame size is about 17 1/2" x 14 1/2" while the visible print is about 11" x 7 3/4". The lines are crisp, not from an old plate. Condition is good on the print, but the matte certainly needs to be replaced. The acid from the backing has caused some browning in the top section of the print. Of course, all our sales are fully guaranteed. That means if you aren't happy, we aren't happy, and despite some manic-depressive leanings, I do prefer happiness. Your only risk is the cost for return shipping, and if we goof, we cover that, too. Price: $125 plus shipping/insurance. Shipping: Without the frame, Priority Mail and insurance will be $7.75. With the frame, shipping will vary depending on the zone. (Estimate would be $15-25.) International shipping rates quoted on request. Questions? Requests? Comments? Purchase? To buy an item (or more), just get in touch through the e-mail link, or you can call us at 812-467-0191. It works best if you include the "item" code to let us know which item or items you're interested in. The code is at the beginning of each listing and is usually two letters followed by a number. We'll confirm that the item is still available, make sure we agree on the total, and answer any questions you wish to throw our way. Checks or money orders should be made "Forrest OR Virginia Poston". We also take Paypal (including credit card payments). We try to ship in one or two days after payment arrives, and we're generous with the bubblewrap and styrofoam peanuts. If there's something you'd like us to find for you, let us know. We're just itching to please you, or maybe that was Poison Ivy we got into. Remember that all proceeds go to support good causes: my spouse, our cats (see the "staff" here), our creditors, my auction addiction, and the plumbing project that never ends. |

Please take the time to let us know what you think about the site, the look, the language, photos, items, prices, etc. If you have any questions, comments, or good ideas for conversation, feel free to contact us. There should be e-mail links on every page, and the actual address is ginfor@earthlink.net Guarantee: We have a simple, "If you aren't happy, we aren't happy" policy. If you open a package and suddenly wonder why you bought it in the first place, you can return it for a full refund of your purchase price and the shipping one way. Your only risk is the cost to ship it back to us. If it turns out that we made a mistake, then we pay the shipping both ways. I won't say "no questions asked" because we will ask so we'll know how to make fewer mistakes. Payment terms: We try not to be overly picky about the details. If we can put it in the bank and pay some bills without any undo fuss, then we'll probably take it. We're quite happy to take checks and money orders, and we're signed up with Paypal, which is the easiest route if you want to pay by credit card. If you have some other method in mind, get in touch, and we'll see what we can work out. Monopoly money, anything you may have printed in the basement, and chickens are right out. |
