[Leica] Old pic - any ideas

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

I'd like to thank Al Crouch for letting me know what the image was. It's a 
heliogravure (or photogravure) called "Home Concert" by an English artist 
called Maude Goodman.

Worth? Not a lot, and my new unwitting acquisition which has faded terribly, 
and served as a lifetime of meals for a wandering booklouse, is worth even 
less - probably a small glass of beer. That's assuming the booklouse has 
passed to the Great Tome in the Heavens....

The level of knowledge and expertise on the LUG never ceases to amaze me.

Douglas
