Hello, I am trying to find information about two small prints I have. They are pencil signed by Brunet (?) and finely written across the top is "copyright 1935 camillas lucas nyc usa". I would like any information I can get regarding either brunet or camillas lucas. Thank you

Some further information from the following site: Art-Prints at przmtz, Cam & Pete's Treasures, (http://www.tias.com/8121/InventoryPage/1481960/1.html)


Sidney Z. Lucas (SZL) was the owner of a New York business named The Old Print Center and he also owned a Gallery named after his mother, the Camilla Lucas Gallery, from 1928 to the 1950's. During these years he traveled to Europe several times a year and commissioned etchings by various French artists which he copyrighted and published under the "PES" (Paris Etching Society) imprint. Each artist would name his etching and sign his name, usually in pencil.
