A print by Margaret Bourke-White was just on Antique Road Show, a second time.
Now valued at 6 to 9K.
The owner has a dozen of her prints, in a basement or attic...not matted, framed or glass. Stacked.
Intialially I liked the very heavy dimpled paper they are printed on. And of course the subject and execution. First the appraiser identified the paper as characteristic.
I had to look her up. Wonderful art with meaning. Lot's at the links below.
Margaret Bourke-White
I never heard of her, there is plenty I don't know.

and places close to the Weston print I commented on, fine art can mean something more
