Print titled "Sand Hills: Newcastle Upon Tyne."

Vintage print, framed.

12-1/2" x 15-3/4" (32 cm x 40 cm) framed.

It has a small label on the back from a gallery called Mages, Chicago. The label is hand-numbered 2269-8 and the handwritten title reads: "Sand Hills, New Castle on the Tyne." Artist's name printed on front bottom, left corner (not an original signature).

Purchased at estate sale of John (Jack) Lucas in Winona, Minnesota about 2 yrs. ago.  The sale was conducted by Lee-Ann Estate Sales of Winona, MN. 

Jack Lucas was a prominent resident of Winona, Minnesota.  His family started the Laird Norton Lumber Company in Winona in the late 1800s.  Today it's UBC -- United Builders Corporation with stores all over the country.  Lucas and his wife lived in Winona, but they also lived in Europe for several years.  Lucas was an avid art collector and died in Winona.

The item is very clean, matted in an elegant, bordered salmon matting. The frame is original and does have some wear, primarily to the raised areas. The brown paper on the back is significantly torn. Otherwise, very nice!

Exhibits, in catalogs:  I don't know.
