Description Paul Detlefsen. Tag from back say "The Village Smithy". However, every version I see listed as a print online, is opposite of the one I have. Example: The buggy in my version is on the left side and the boy by the tree is on the right side. The picture is shown with an 8.5"x11" sheet of paper for size reference. Any info on this would be appreciated.

I would be intersted in knowing if you heard any information back regarding your print with the buggy on the left. Today we stopped off at a flea market and purchased the exact same version of yours in a frame for $10.00

We have been looking on the internet and can not find any answer to why all the others are reverse image compared to ours.

Strangely enough this is a common theme with his pictures. Im not sure if its a missprint or just how he decided to paint. There are several of his paintings that are reversed. A better question would be, which one is the original?
