Here is the gallery of Cloverine Salve`s prints that were freebies !! Since I am on dial up it would take me forever to get through them !! If someone could go through this list to check and see if this print was one given with purchase !! You have to check every one in case "The Afternoon Caller" is not the correct title !!

I looked through them all but did not see it.

Just out of curiosity how can you tell it's a print by looking at it over the computer? I can see if it was in person. When I look at it through a magnifying glass there are no dots!! The paper looks to be correct. The paper is not smooth it looks rough and bumpy. I have seen watercolors online signed by him estimated value was around 800 to 1200 dollars. I know about the demand but since it's hard to find maybe it's a rarer watercolor. He did paint watercolors

You can not tell for sure but since I paint and have worked in watercolor (and hated it),, from what I can see it looks like a print !! There are many different types of prints,, not all have the telltale dots !!
I would suggest that you take it to a frame shop and let them remove it so you can look at it !!  They will know which one it is and you can check for publishers info and then put it back with the original nails ect. !! Likely the dust cover if there is one needs replacing anyway !!  Should cost about $10. !! It will not affect any possible value it may have !!
Another thing which you may not have thought about,, since Ferris sold reproduction rights on many works,,that would mean the purchaser could print them for as long as they wished !!  So even if the original work was painted in 1895,, the print could have been made last year for all we know !!
