    Etchings by Louis Ramet
    Aloha,
    I have a framed etching by Louis Ramet. On the back is a label
    That reads...

    Genuine Etching
    By
    Louis Ramet
    Entitled
    The Morin, near Paris

    Paris Etching Society
    Distruted by
    Turner
    New York Chicago Los Angeles
    SLZ

    Can you give me any idea what this etching might be worth,
    Or where I might find more information.

    Thank you in advance for any kind of help you can give me.

    Aloha,
    Pam Tye
    Honolulu, Hawaii

    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.

    Since the 1950's we've had Louis Ramet's "The Morin near Paris", #575, Borin art products, chicago. I received it from my parents estate in 2006.
    Saw a picture of "The Ferry" also listed as #575 by him same company on goanitques.com. Worth? I don't know. Is Morin a place or morning?
