    Paris etching society NY USA - Picture by Boyer
    I inherited a picture sighed by Boyer in pencil in the right bottom corner. It is a letter-sized picture with # 201 in the left bottom corner and a writing in pencil that says something like"Pairs la Vallie". It depicts a church or cottage in the background and a river with the cobbled bridge over it on the foreground and a corner of the building on the right side. I am interested to know how valuable is it (how much could I expect to sell it for), how old is it and some info about the author and the Paris etching society NY USA.

    Thanks so much for your time.

    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.
