Jacobi Re-Proof - Original Price
|
I collect vintage color etchings and have seen the signature Jacobi on prints by some famous and well listed artists such as Vaughn Trowbridge and James Alphege Brewer. Jacobi's signature usually appears on the left hand side of the print along with the word Re-Proof. I have assumed that this was some type of copy or facsimile of the original print, although the quality of the print looked very good.
Thanks to ebay seller "offthewallarttrader" and here is a photo of the paper label attached to these Jacobi Re-Proofs. It clearly states that these prints are reproductions and so only worth a fraction of the original (I would say that these Re-Proofs are worth 15%-30% of an original). I have also included an advertisement for Jacobi re-proofs from a 1916 copy of the Montreal Gazette.
We have a picture of his and wondered what the value was. We'd like to sell it.
ReplyDeleteThe retail value of your Jacobi re-proof is $75-50.
ReplyDeleteI just found a Jacobi re-proof behind a print that has been hanging around our family for many decades. I've done some searches online to see if there is a catalog of reproofs and have yet to see anything that looks like my reproof. It's of a saint or madonna and I don't recognize the original artist at all. I'd be interested in selling it but don't know if there's a niche for these or who to contact for more info.
