Road in Autumn in France

We have a genuine etching by Henri Jourdain titled "Road in Autumn in France"
Paris Etching Society
It was distributed by Turner of New York,Chicago and Los Angles with SLZ logo.
It is in original frame ,backing and cover.
Trying to determine if it has any value. What is it worth?
Thanking You in Advance
Dave Morton

Dave, unfortunately etchings are not an art form that appreciates readily. If you would like to get a general idea of pricing, please check eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices and do a search of etchings. Another web site that might give you a general idea is: Kovels.com - FREE antiques and collectibles resources, price guide information.

If you are looking for a more exact figure, I would suggest contacting an art gallery in your area for an appraisal. Aside from giving you an idea of what they are worth, they might be able to locate a buyer for you.

I also have this print and would appreciate any information on same. I assume this print was made in the 1940's - as it came from my parents home. Must have been popular

One of the best resources that I have found concerning Paris Etching Society is from Google answers, located HERE.
The response from scriptor-ga is very insightful.

Basically PES was set up by Sidney Z. Lucas, hence the SZL mark. He owned a printshop in New York in the years 1940 to 1960 where He
produced a large number of prints after old etchings.
Generally, prints by Mr. Lucas seem not to reach very high prices.
At the end of the day they look nice, but that's about it.
Most of what is talked about them is from people "boiler rooming" the price on the supposed French history.

I hope this helps.
