    This is a picture I bought at a garage sale for $2. On the back of the frame there's a label that says "H. Hal Kramer Co. Chicago, Londres 1757". From what I can find online "Londres" in french means, London. I haven't had any luck online identifying the artist, but it seems to be very old (maybe around revolutionary war times). We think it looks more like a copper press etching (of course these are just my inexpertise assumptions, I would hardly know). I would love to find out more about it if possible, and see if there's any worth in it.

      I have two pictures that I bought about ten years ago from a yard sale. I bought mine for around the same price that you did. I haven't taken any pictures of it yet, but I was wondering the history of the pictures myself. Mine has similar pictures on it, and one has an unknown man in one of the coins that are in it, and the other one has a picture of Jean Fernel on the coin. It would be nice to know if we have anything worth anything, but for some reason, I think we just have really pretty pictures.
