Re: American Express Train
Pieces like this really need to be physically examined, though this one appears to be too small, the original was a large folio print and had an image that measured about 17-1/4" by 27". Have a look at the print with a magnifying glass, if it's a reproduction you'll most likely see the image is made up of a series of small dots.
Re: American Express Train
I realized that i measured the print only, not the entire folio. And my wife and I did examine it with a magnifyer and found no series of dots in the folio. This is the entire lithographs measurements as I just put a tape measure to it. The frame is: 16.5 x 12.75 inches. Without taking the print from the origional framing as the backing is paper and seems to be glued on. I think the folio is 12.5 x 15.75 inches.
Re: American Express Train
Well,this gonna be fun.American express train painting is worthy to have.just like any other Amex projects like a new prepaid card. American Express plans to make its new prepaid debit card available next Tues. The company, though generally associated with higher-end luxury consumers, is branching out to target the average consumer. Other banks and card issuers are expected to follow in their footsteps. The proof is here: American Express to issue a new prepaid card
