hi i assume you mean the print is of a building that is no longer there,

unfortunately you don't give much info!!

the value of views depends very much on how interesting a building is and how well known it is, if it isn't famous then i'm not holding out high hopes for you!!

the image looks to me like a masterpiece, it seems familiar but i can't place it right now, that isn't really my period

but what you have is obviously a poster of the painting that has been framed, i assume the 'flash' is a reflection of the flash on glass and the frame is a modern frame that you'd put a poster in

Antique Questions Forum / samuel howitt aquatints, need help please!!

the thing about aquatints in particular is that the printing plate wears very quickly, because the ground is so fine - hence the quality of impressions from the same plate varies enormously.

thus a generic price guide is not really much use, knowledgable collectors are only really interested in early impressions.

yes, we get people coming in, trying to sell us printing blocks from old newspapers all the time,

the bad news is that they are very common, not rare at all - so unless there is something very special about them, such as a particularily interesting news story or illustration then they are very difficult to sell at any money at all

well, you don't give much information about them!!

are they MINT condition, do they have their boxes, are the boxes in MINT condition.

remember a LOT of people bought these items, so condition is everything.
