I've come across an etching of a river with a tree lined bank on the left and a windmill on the right. The ink is black and it has dashes, of what appears to be watercolor in rust, orange, brown, green on it. The border, which may have been white at one time, is now yellowed. There is a small embossed triangle insignia in the left corner below the print, encasing the letters SZL (I thhin)... Next to the triangle, in hand-written pencil, an inscription that may start with the letters AUT. On the right corner, below the print, is another hand-written pencil inscription that starts with a capital P followed by what may be a capital H or a small h, followed by other letters. I can not read either inscription fully. There are no numbers anywhere on the print. However on the back, it is STAMPED in black ink "Made in Belgium".

Using suposition (SZL), I did find the Paris Etching Society on the INET.. assuming that this is what I have, I would like to have more information about the print itself.

Since I don't know anything about etchings, or art for that matter, I need some help in satisfying my curiousity. What is the title, who is the artist, any idea where the image may be from? If you are unable to help, can you direct me to anyone/place else that might give me this information?
