Wish I could help you. I do recognize that print. It was very popular "back in the day" along with its companion. We used to sell them as a pair, framed in a beautiful Asian-looking Ivy frame.
:cool: Rick

Is NYGS still around? Or maybe try Lieberman's.
 
Mikki,
Did you do a search to see if the Riksmuseum shop in Amsterdam still carries it? I once had to get a print from an Italian gallery that way.
 
tried NYGS they said hey had nothing older that 199... something when they were bought out and I could not find it on the website.

Was hoping someone still had it gathering dust in a bin!!!
 
Now there's a walk down memory lane.
Like Rick, we used to sell the pair, and probably used the same Ivy moulding.
I even had my original NYGS print bin (birch plywood, stained walnut) until last year.
Can't help you Mikki, but I do appreciate the trip. Gave all my NYGS prints to a local school library for their art history program.
 
Jsuth I tried the museum no luck on their search either. I know someone is a pack rat and has one! Who would think they could get rid of that now?
 
Checking Inventory....

Mikki,

Will check some old print files tomorrow and get back to you.

If you can't find a replacement, we can probably fix it. We have to be able to make it reasonably flat, though, to scan it. The job would run about $125.00, no cure, no pay. Just put it in a tube and ship it to us. It will probably fit in out document table, but if not, it'll easily fit our vacuum table.
 
I think that it had metallic inks- would that reproduce well? I had a few way back then, but they sold in the '80's. I think that it came with the NYG print case.

Susan, metallic inks reproduce fairly well. The paper looks to be glossy, maybe something like Premium Luster which should help reproducing matallic ink. I'm more worried about the liquid blob on the right. We can restore the original color (Applied Science Fiction, now Kodak) and fix the scrtaches but the blob could be a problem. At any rate it should look good enough for it's nostalgic purpose. There will be no original to compare it to. Only a memory.
 
Warren I don't believe this will ever get flat enough to do a print from it. In the photo you can't see the worst of the damage, a water (I think coke) spot about 4" across and of course all the rippiling that caused. This print has had a bad life!

Keep hoping someone might have one in stock.
 
still looking! Be a part of making a wife say "AWWW honey that is so sweet!!"

Come on guys help this husband out!!

I know this is still out there somewhere!
 
You're in luck!

Mikki,

We've got the print. It has two very small moons in the surface of the paper, but for a 25 year old print, it's in excellent condition.

I will package it and wrap it and it can go out UPS this afternoon.

Kindly send me your complete shipping address.

Yippie Yippie!!!!!!! happy client! you gotta love the end of this story!:p:p:p
 
What about that John!

John,

I am envisioning the last scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark, the cavernous warehouse they wheel the Ark of the Covenant into, when thinking of your "print archive". What else do you have in there from the '80's? :D

Rob
 
Thank you thank you Great Grumblers for all the help! I can't wait to tell him it's done!!! Thank you Framin that is it! Who would have thought!

John has it in the mail for me already so all looks great!!

Thanks again! Mikki
 
Not as bad as it sounds....

Rob,

Not as bad as it sounds! :) We actually have two of our large flat file draws that hold older decorator print inventory. I knew that within this pile was a stack of older NYGS images that we obtained from a gallery in Oshkosh back in the early 1980's. Someone mentioned on this thread that they thought this print was part of their "starter" bin package. That statement encouraged me to take a look. And there she was!

I tend to save things - My wife, Sarah tends to throw things away! Murphy's Law states that this doesn't always work in your favor. The item you really hoped would be there is LONG gone, and the junk that should have been tossed, is still collecting dust! :D In this case, Mikki should receive her print today or on Monday.

John
 
Don't you just lovea happy ending?

Customeer cam ein to pick it up yesterday and he was so thrilled he can't wait to suprise his wife on Saturday! He said " I have done it this year! She has no idea. I know I got her!"

So thanks John!! and others thanks for helping too!!!

You gotta smile!:icon21:
 
Great ending...

Mikki,

Glad to hear that the print arrived in good shape and that the project is now completed. Thanks for the gift certificate "payment"...this helps fuel the economy as Sarah and I will use it within the next week.

See how this exchange created its own mini economic stimmulus package! :)

John
