Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.History-On-PaperI am proud to have sold to customers in the following countries: Argentina - Australia - Austria - Azerbaijan Republic - Bahrain - Belgium - Bolivia - Brazil - Canada - Chile - China - Cyprus - Czech Republic – Denmark –Ecuador - Finland - France – French Guiana - Germany - Greece - Hong Kong – Hungary - Iceland - India - Ireland - Israel - Italy - Japan - Jordan - Kuwait - Latvia – Lithuania - Malta – Malaysia - Mexico - Netherlands - New Zealand - Norway - Paraguay - Philippines - Poland - Portugal - Puerto Rico – Romania – Seychelles - Singapore - Slovakia - South Africa - South Korea - Spain – Sri Lanka - Sweden - Switzerland – Taiwan - Thailand -Turkey - Ukraine - United Arab Emirates - United Kingdom - and all 50 United States.
