I suspect that this etching is something that was produced by the Paris Etching Society. Does it have any other names, letters or numbers on it? And, if so, what are they, please?

the signature in the right hand corner actually looks like Hanil underlined in pencil) which could be darvil...the reason i say darvil is the paper on the back of the frame. i dont see any numbers on the picture.

I was asking not just about the print itself, but also anywhere else on the frame or back. Usually, if it is from the Paris Etching Society, there is almost always the initials SZL somewhere.

There is an artist Davril, who had one or more works appeared as prints with the Paris Etching Society. Please see sites listed on the following search. Davril Artist Paris Etching Society - Google Search

If what you have is from the Paris Etching Society, which I'm pretty sure that it is, please see the information on the following link. http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/art/par...ad-155531.html

I have as of yet to find any information on the Internet concerning the artist Davril, other than that which is associated with the Paris Etching Society. There seem to be no listings for a Hanil who was an artist either.

If you click on the following search, you will find links to sites where Paris Etching Society prints are for sale. Finding the prices on the links might give you an idea as to the price ranges that your print might fall under if you find similar styles of prints.
