pICASSO REPRINT IN ILLINOIS MOULDING FRAME

[PATTIMAE13]

WITHOUT A TAPE MEASURE I WOULD GUESS 10x12 IS THE SIZE

  Is the number on the print ??  Or the dust cover ?? Or the frame ??  So it is just a small print !!

THE NUMBERS ARE ON THE DUST COVER ON THE BACK OF THE PRINT AND YES ITS SMALL

Illinois Moulding Company was the precursor to Windsor Art Products !!  (Not to be confused with Winsor Art Products which later became Winsor and Newton)  They purchased the reproduction rights to many artworks and reprinted them and sold them in their own frames in all sizes !!  They also purchased art from lesser known artists with aka signatures) so as to protect their rights as artists using their own name !!  They also reproduced art using a method that looked like an authentic piece but was done on a type of cardboard !! They were much like Home Interior is today !! They sold the artwork as well as other items in their frames which is what the number on the dust cover is !! Thats the number of that particular item in their line and has nothing to do with the artwork itself !! They were not trying to fool the public as they were all marked as reproductions !! They just provided quality artwork at reasonable prices in a variety of sizes !! They also had mirrors and other items !!  Value on their items is minimal and for your piece probably $10. to $20. !!

Not really !!  Just decided since nothing concrete showed on the artwork I would do a little digging on the frame  company !!  If you can`t find them one way,, try another !!!  Divide and conquer !!  LOL
