My 14" x 18" coloured print, 28546, is entitled: Sweet Rose of Araby and said to be from a painting by Pressler. The printer's name is something like "Fonto-graph" - cannot read it very well. It is from the Denver, Colorado area, probably was purchased in a second-hand shop about 50 years ago, and appears to be in the original frame. I would appreciate any information about it. Thank you.

I did find that a copy of it is available on eBay. There appears to be two, separate prints. GENE PRESSLER SWEET ROSE OF ARABY PIN-UPS TWO PCS WOW ! - eBay (item 260204162562 end time Jan-23-08 19:26:39 PST)
