wooliscroft Rhead

Re a previous question about Wooliscroft Rhead .would anyone know if his etchings are of any great worth (I can live in hope )

[gary baldy]

Rhead is well renowned (and a distant relative of mine dont you know!) and his work is worth money especially in the USA.
But without knowing what you have - they could just be prints - it is difficult to say.
The thing with etchings is that they were designed to be copied many times over so have little rarity value.
I'm no expert but it may be worth getting what you have checked out by a reputable dealer because they could be valuable.

thanks gary baldy Any idea where I can find a reputable dealer .

Where do you live?
Are there any auction rooms near you? Look it up and if there is they may be able to value it or put you in touch with someone who can.
A local antique shop may also put you in contact with some one but always keep your wits about you and always start your conversations with "ive done some research and........" and not "Ive got no idea about this........." because some one may take advantage.
Also, always get a second opinion.
