To Carl & Kathy & all who may be looking:
Thank you for your rapid-fire assistance! Kathy actually had the catalogue
raisonne & found the image & called me just now! Wow, powerful combination
of internet+professional colleageus! Turns out the image was indeed an
etching, signed in the plate, & issued for the Collector's Guild (1 of 5 in
series of 1900). Thank you Kathy & Carl for my early Holiday gifts. Our
Director will be mightily pleased & you've saved us from ILL waiting game!
Kathy's call is especially appreciated, as our computer system is not
always functioning. Hapy Holidays all. Sincerely,
Rebecca D. Steel, Librarian
