I found an old lithograph (maybe an etching). The artist's name is spelled De( or Del) Zoinray, or Roinray or Boinray or some variation . It is a group of European cottages along a street and a river. I was told it may be a stone lithograph that has been colored by hand. I would appreciate any thoughts on who the artist may be and the approximate time the artist was producing works.

Can you post of picture of it... jpeg

Have not found anything. It would be good if could post a picture. It might help in the identification.

Sounds like one of the Paris Etching Society pieces to me.

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.
