I purchased at an antique auction a Boyer print entitled "The Entrance". The number on the label on the back of the print is #11. The label states that this is an original etching and carries the SZL identification on the lower left front of the print. The left top of the front side of the print shows Copyright 1936 Camilla Lucas-NY-USA. The bottom left shows handwritten in pencil the words in French "Vieux puits"?? On the bottom right of the print is the Boyer signature in pencil.

The print depicts a thatched cottage with a well in the foreground. The print is in immaculate condition. Any help or knowledge that anyone has pertaining to this print would be most appreciated.

I too have a similar print as to the one you have described.
It has a 1935 Camilla Lucas Copyright N.Y. in upper left corner.
Also the 'SZL' triangular patch on the back. It indicates that it is an original etching imported from Paris.
This etching is very similar to your picture as you described.
It also has a thatched cottage with a person drawing water into a bucket from a well/pond in the foreground.
However the title of this one is 'Le Chalet' and signed with the name- Alex.
This picture was my Grandmothers, that I rescued from my Mother's garage sale. I have been curious as to it's origins and history of the artist etc.
It is about letter size. If you wish to share any information about the similarities of these pictures, please respond. I would be willing to scan an image of it if you are interested.

The prints I have also has the left top of the front side of the print showing Copyright 1936 Camilla Lucas-NY-USA
One shows thatched cottages in the background with water in the front with part of an old rowboat showing in the corner. The other shows thatched cottages up front with two gentlemen talking to each other. They both have Boyer written in pencil in the bottom right hand corner. Mine is letter sized also and I am curious as to the history behind it. If you would like to contact me on this forums page, we could compare notes further. Thanks

I fell onto this site while trying to find out info on an etching I have had for years approx 17 x 13 in size with the thatched roofed cottage along a country dirt road with a haystack on the opposite side of the etching, it says Philippe on the bottom right in pencil and on the left it says "Plaine, a Chartres" and copyright 1938 Camilla Lucas, Ny USA on the top right corner. I'm confused that I find in my search, many different artist names signed in pencil with the same recurring theme(the thatched roof cottage in the french countryside). All copyright by Camilla Lucas. Any insight or new info from anyone and a possible value if any?

I also found a Camilla lucas in my house, in our previous house, our upstairs neighbor moved out due to illness adn said we could keep or throw anything away, we kept some items. This item a painting/drawing (im not sure which one) of a bridge connected to a house/ barn like stucture with a reflection in the water. On the bottom left there is a triangle with the letters szl in it, on the top left it says "copyright 1935 camilla lucas ny-usa. On the bottom right it says the word alex and on the bottom left, it has some writing which i cant understand.

Mine is from 1935 and is titled "La Saulaire" by Charlot. Does anyone have any information on these etchings?

My mother inherited a genuine Paris Etching titled "The Inn Along the River." It is signed by Boyer and the number is #209. We would like any information about the artist. Also, is this etching valuable?
