    Art Etchings made in France
    I have a colored etching made in France by Adams. Not sure of the first initial, Maybe a Y.
    It says it is copyrited by Sidney Lucas. It is a colored print of a horse drawn coach. Four horses, two riders, and four people in the coach. Do you have information on this print, like who the artist is, and what it might be worth. Thank you. Patti Dunbar

    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.
