I have 2 "Original Etchings", one titled "Wharf of the Beguinage" by Dasselborne(#55); the other "A River in Flanders" by Van Santon(#203). Both say etchings carrying this label are genuine original French Etchings imported from Paris. Both also say, the artist placed on this etching the triangle trade mark enclosing the letters SZL as a special identification. These have been in my family for years-do you know if they are of any value?

Here's my usual C&P on this subject:


One of the best resources that I have found concerning Paris Etching Society is from Google answers, located HERE (http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=39718).
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.
