German Print?

[greenacres]

removed this from a house that had been sealed up for 50 years. The house is in a old part of Philadelphia near the waterfront. The family was of German descent by all the articles found in the house. This ptint was in the house. It's either pre-world war ll or during. Is this a famous print common to that time that you would know the piece, or am I wrong about it being Germany?

Doesn't look as old as that.

Is it about 2-3ft tall ?

Is it on cardboard ??

[greenacres]

It is just short of 2ft. It's not on cardboard. It's heavier and firm. It's more of a board.

From what I see there it may have to generenations of families. I found these in the house too.

[greenacres]

And these. Most likely this family.

Take a little closer shot of the edge of the print so we can see it !!

Okay, I was going to do too, lol. I'm out now, but when I get home I will.

[greenacres]

Tell me if you need a better picture.

That looks like the modern foam backing we use today for artwork !!

Could it be 50's? I think that was the last house was occupied. Ominous kind of photo, eerie. Like it's a ghost town.

I don`t know a lot about photographic art,, but my opinion is that you need to find someone that does know !! See if others have an idea !!  It has an eerie artistic appeal !!  I can only see it sideways so hard to tell much about it !!

If you tap on it comes out straight.

That does look like modern foamcore.
Not sure if they used that in the 50s or not.

Its acid free so its used for most anything on paper !! I had it put behind an Armistice day newspaper I had framed !!
