But I have had it for close to 20 years and not sure where to go for an appraisal. Can you give me some direction on what to look for if it is an orginal. I found your column very informative and I would like to thank you for doing so.
Your article allowed me to differentiate between the difference of what I originally thought to be a lithograph. I cannot quite read the artist signature. Looks like Wheisch or perhaps W Heisch. Raw or Rawl. Thank you. Jun 27 Lithograph, Screenprint, Etching.

They are terms you must become familiar with quickly if you wish to be a smarter collector.

The truth is that you can get an exquisite art print that can either be a lithograph or a serigraph. There are also some noticeable differences between the aforementioned art prints.
Lithographs and serigraphs vary from one another quite significantly. Arguably the biggest point of dissimilarity between them is how they are made. Starting with lithographs, they are made using oil-based ink, water, paper, a printer, and a suitable surface. To make the lithograph, an image will first be drawn on the provided surface. The image in question will be drawn using the oil-based ink.
In some cases, a grease crayon may be used in place of the ink. After that, water will be applied to the surface. More oil-based ink will then be used to coat the surface and it will stick to the spots the ink applied from earlier covered.
After that, the recreated image will be printed on a piece of paper. That piece of paper is the art print that will be sold to collectors. Serigraphs are created a bit differently. This time around, the materials needed include ink, a screen, a stencil, paper, and a squeegee or other kind of roller.
