I have a signed and numbered print of the Edmund Fitzgeral sinking in the 70's by artist E. Persick. It is numbered 110 out of 250. I will try and scan the pic so you can look at it.
Was wondering if anyone would be interested in buying it. Ive had it in a tube for 20 years and never got it framed. Its about 12 X 18 and done in pencil. I will try and find the value of it and give a huge discount. Would like someone from here to have it. I have no room at home for it. Maybe the artist has a web site someone could search for.
Any interest???

No luck there Norm. sorry
"Your search - edmund fitzgerald painting "E. Persick" - did not match any documents"
Nor could I find any site listing E Persick as an artist. You'll just have to scan the pic yourself
Tip scan in two halves then join in a suitable drawing photo editing progra(m)e

the recommended free drawing programme I am using to design a badge for Hamilton is

Not this one but similar scene but in pencil.
I paid $35.00 in 1981 for it.
I will try and get it up on this site, having problems figureing how to do it. I may have to email one of you the pics and have you post it here for me.

i'd ask my wife to get it for me for the holidays (i guess that's still under $100 CDN) as a 'want' gift and not a 'need' tool, i've had to separate the two lately, anyhow not your prob

did you find something about the artist at all? maybe the name is mispelled, no hits at all

also, any info as to what the value is/was?

frankly, if i had bucks to throw around i'd pay $50 for the piece of EF seat alone...that would be real neat as i don't have any GL or celebrity memorabilia at all except for an original IYCRMM 45 that a nice Atlanta lady sent me out of the blue

if i missed info update, please direct me http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

Dont think I will ever sell the lifeboat seat etc.
Nothing on the artist. My guess is he is dead. The print was done in 1980 long before the internet was invented by al gore. So he probably died before and thus never had anything put on a web site etc. That was 24 years ago and he was about 65 year old then.
So its probably worth a few million but you can have it for $50 plus 5 buck postage.
