Description:
Offered for your consideration is this lovely print by Murillo " Children of the Shell " published by F.A. Owen Publishing Company Dansville, N.Y. and hand numbered #53. The print measures 7 3/8" by 8 3/4". The frame is wood with plaster over. Has some plaster missing, but could be repaired or you could re-frame the print. On the back is old booklet that came with the print. I could not find a date, but I would guess in the 40's. The glass has a fine crack, not really noticible, but would need replacing.
