This was originally done in 1923 for a cover of Life magazine !!  Size of the original work was 31X22 oil on canvas !!  This is a print from that cover !!  Most of the signed prints such as this are repro`s !! You can find many of his prints on ebay at all kinds of prices,, and many have the same identical frame as yours !!  They are also advertised as signed prints !!  None are selling that I found !!

Its not your typical Rockwell style that we all know !! I think this was done before his studio burned !!  Hope I remember right !!

    The signature almost looks right, I did compare it to many that are online, some minor difference between them but not enough to really call it a fake signuture.  How did you determine it to be a real Autograph?  To determine any value you will have to be sure it is real of course, and many have fake his signature.   So the value of the item since not a original art of his will be in just the autograph.

Many of Rockwells covers can be found, signed the same, on ebay and other sites !!  They have been reproduced a long time !!  Unless someone renewed the copywrite (don`t think Life Mag. did) they are probably public domain by now !! Published works have different laws !!
