Aged art piece
I found this at a thrift store. The frame is what drew me to it. You can tell it's very old and it has a wooden backing instead of paper. The print itself is raised a bit like A water color. The material feels like a heavy papyrus. There is a marking you can barely see that is machine done into the bottom right hand side that says "loaned from original Liverpool corporation" That's all I can make out. It is 20 X17"

Dear David,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the apprisal.
The presented object appears to be a lithograph print on paper with the measurements of 20 x 17 inches. This is a print after a probably British painting depicting a landscape that was made in the late 19th century. This print was probably made around 1900 or in the first half of the 20th century.
A fair market estimation would be between 30 to 60 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
Dear David,
Thank you for your email. That is all that is researchable on the base of the given information. I tried to find a painting or motif. Lithographs in wide usage are common since 1820 or 1830 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithography). Is there any written or printed on the reverse side of the print?
With kind regards,
Georg
That's all we know?
I understand that there have been countless pieces of art through the centuries but I was really hoping for a little more information.
How far bAck do lithographs date?
