Don't know much about it.....bought from an estate sale......Thought it looked unique.......The bottom of the canoe feels porous......it is definitely not wood...lol.....the Eskimo figures are carved from the same material possible....then the paddle looks ivory......any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Sapphire......I sent photos to the Frederic Remington museum......they said it appears to be original and wasnt to familiar with this etching......They told me to get an appraisal done by a reputable fine art appraiser.....I contacted a print expert from the Antiques Roadshow and this is what I was told.......

I happen to like Remington and own some etchings, Your print appears to have the pressed border in the paper which indicates it was hand pressed on good quality paper using an old style etching or engraving press. Not being able to find it right away indicates it will take research to be able to help you further.

I will keep you guys informed of any other info I found out.......

I purchased an original etching called the "Courriers" by Remington today at an estate sale but cannot find specific information about it. On the back of the frame in an envelope there was a COA from Oxford Art Galleries dated October 21, 1981.....it states that this is an original etching called the courriers and was stamped and signed by Richard Rogers of the Oxford Art Gallery. Could you help me with any information. Thank you.

I guess I am going to just chalk it up as to being a unique.....kind of ugly piece that probably not worth much money but does create a really cool conversation piece.....thanks for all the help and comments.......
