George Washington & The NY Historical Society prints
« on: December 21, 2014, 03:44:43 pm »
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/whitehouse/timeline/1792.html

I have the first print on that link and I want to know if it is worth having this print? On the back in the description it tells me Carroll O'Rourke framed it and that it is very old. Does anyone know anything about this kind of art?
