Value is not enough to retire on,, sorry !!  Illinois Moulding made many reproductions of artwork already in the public domain and also by contract with artists of the time !!  They reproduced these as a way for people to have artwork in the home that they could not afford otherwise !! Many of these were large size paintings when the decorating at that time was to have a large piece of artwork behind the sofa usually with a couple of sconces on either side of the painting !!  I remember those days !!
