    I have two prints with "Copyright 1938 Camilla Lucas-NY-USA" in upper right corner and the other is copyright 1936. Both look like French scenes along the river in typical reds,brown,greens. They are in original frames it appears and matted. They have the French title on lower left and the name "Boyer" in lower right--looks like pencil signatures and naming.
    What might be the value of these?
    Thanks for any help!

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

    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.
