What old prints are worth money?

What old prints are worth money?
The list of old prints that may be worth money is really too long to name. The artist, number of prints in the series, age, historical significance and other characteristics of the print all contribute to the potential value. With older pieces, the condition is also a concern, and any flaws may reduce the potential selling price. Some artists whose prints are often sought by collectors include Albrecht Dürer, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, Rembrandt and Frederic Remington. If you're interested in learning how much particular prints you own may be worth, consult a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer. Find a large collection of art prints on 1stDibs.

After a year of graduate work in art history at Columbia University, in 1964 McKnight found a job at Time Magazine where he would work for eight years, interrupted by a two-year stint in the U. S.

In 1979 in Mykonos, McKnight met Renate, a vacationing Austrian student, and married the following year.
