Sailing ship prints by 'Melbourne'?
Posted by vonBerlichingen on Wednesday, February 17, 2010 6:33 AM

Hi, all. I have acquired a pair of sailing ship prints with the name 'Melbourne' written along the vessels' keels. Would these have been done by Melbourne Smith?

Seems quite possible; he's done a large number of pictures like that.  What you need to do, if you can, is find some of his prints (maybe some are reproduced on the web someplace) and compare the signatures with the ones you've got.

Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.
