UK Antiques Roadshow clip featuring JHE signatures

Started Apr 28 0 Replies

This makes quite a nice watch. It was first broadcast a few months ago but I only just spotted the clip on the AR site. For once, the valuation (GBP 5,000 - 7,000) seems about right.…Continue

"Especially given the time period covered, that's got to be a £5,000+ item."

a pug called eva replied to Reni's discussion Opinion on Freddie, please
"Definitely not real. The photo itself looks too new to have been signed before 1991 in any case."

"It appears Helen was never formally interviewed, but she wrote a detailed six-page letter on May 13, 1912, to Hope Chapin, whom she had befriended aboard the rescue ship, Carpathia. Among other details, the letter confirmed Helen's…"

"Those frames certainly are unfortunate.  😕 Still, the notations on the back may have helped keep them from being trashed at some point.   For my own sanity I'd tell myself that the trimming was done many decades ago for another…"

"Anytime, They can be, yes, and technically you may not even need it, but so many of my images have been swiped I lost count...I usually embed something in the image or add/remove a tiny detail."

"Thank you for the tip re watermarking Eric. I upload lots of my C19 photographs to a Facebook site and never watermark them. I usually just try to make sure that the resolution wouldn't be high enough to print commercially. I know I should…"

"Thank you Eric and JK re the frame. It is certainly not original and that is why I got the photo out of it as soon as I could. I assume a family member put certain photographs into frames at a much later date. The framing of these is truly awful.…"

"After looking more closely I don't see any indications of leaf (some slight linear disturbances every 3" or so), it looks like paint, and looking into the frame this photo appears smaller than the opening (clipped top and bottom) so likely…"

"The slight drift of the left eye outward nails the ID. Unpublished photographs of survivors can garner good interest (and $). I would watermark the image now. It will be found and taken. You might lease the image if anyone is still writing Titanic…"

"It could be a replacement frame. The haphazard cut suggests this possibility. Apart from materials and age tone of the exposed wood on the Reverse, there is the glass, backboard, nails and wire. "

JK replied to a pug called eva's discussion This is what I call satisfying provenance (Titanic-related)
"Yes, I agree that it looks like it might be more modern.  The back would indeed confirm that. If someone cut the photo ten years ago, for example, then that would be extremely unfortunate.  But even if the frame is not vintage it may be…"

Eric Keith Longo replied to a pug called eva's discussion This is what I call satisfying provenance (Titanic-related)
"I am not sure that the frame is truly vintage. It should be darker on areas. I'd need to see the Reverse for a few seconds."
