In thinking about this further, I also wanted to add:
Maybe those initials are the original printer/engraver’s? Since the only way to truly learn more about a piece is in person, our recommendation is to take it to an expert in your area (a book dealer, an antique map or print store etc) who can inspect it closely and provide you with meaningful details.
Thank you for reaching out to us. We unfortunately do not know who B(c)M is. Both George and I looked at it, and I did quick online research, but nothing popped up. We regret we cannot be of more assistance. Best regards, Katia Baizan

Thank you so much for contacting us. My suspicion is that F.A.R. is either the engraver or the printer’s initials. But since the only way to truly learn more about a piece is in person, our recommendation is to take it to an expert in your area (a book dealer, an antique map or print store etc) who can inspect it closely and provide you with meaningful details. We wish we could be of further assistance at this time. Best regards, George and Katia
Hello Sue,
Thank you for contacting us. Since we are unable to see the piece in person, our recommendation is to take it to an expert in your area (a book dealer, an antique map or print store etc) who can inspect it closely. We wish we could be of further assistance. Best regards, George and Katia
How do I find out if it is authentic and is it worth anything
]]>Hi Sarah,
That is a hard question to answer. The best is that we see them in person. If you are in Texas we would be glad to look at them for you and give you some more direction than what we offered on our informational blog.
Looking forward to possibly meeting you.
Thank you,
George
We enjoy finding unusual artwork from around the world to share with our customers and friends.
I agree, how we see and value art is very different between cultures. Travelling is a feast for the eyes!
