    La fin du Hameau by R. Barnaix
    I have a signed print by R Barnaix. It has Paris etching society, NY USA in the upper right hand corner of the print. In the upper left hand corner of the print is a circle with SZL inside it. The #9 is right below the circle to the left. The print in titled La fin du Hameau.
    It is a large framed print. Is it valuable and if it is what would it's value be?

    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.
