    Etching by Paul Emile Lecomte
    I have just purchased an etching by Paul Emile Lecomte. It is titled Old house in Bourgogne France. It has a Label on the back from Paris Etching Society. It also has 3 script initials,
    S,Z,and L in a circle on that label. The label states it is a genuine etching by Lecomte. I was inquiring on the value of this etching.

    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.
