"R.H. Palenske, copper-etch prints
I have 4-big game copper-etch prints ( mountain goat, deer w/fishermen, bear w/elk in background, and moose ). These were given as a safety award from International Paper Co. in the early 1960's. Any info about the prints and value would be appreciated. Thank you."

Google hits of his work showing asking prices......

This may be a calendar print.  Palenske did a lot of work for Brown & Bigelow who made calendars.

Look and see if the B&B Logo is on this anywhere.
