This is NQR but everyone here is so helpful, I thought I would give it a try. I inherited two etchings by German artist Paul Geissler, they are of an old woman with a basket of flowers at her feet, the second is an old Bavarian man with a pipe and a basket with carrots in it. I just found out my brother wants them, and I cannot bare to part with them, so I am trying to find identical copies for him. Can anyone out the help me? I did find the old woman picture on Ebay, but not the old man, and I need both. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give me.

I couldn't find any for you, but they are called "The Vegetable Sellers". Good Luck.

Can you take pictures of them and frame them?

That is where I am coming to now...I took them to a frame shop yesterday to see if I could have copies made, but he was closed until 2:30 and I could not get back. I will try again today. Thanks for the input everyone!

Frame shop? You are talking about big money here. Go to a place that makes colored copies and get them copied and even enlarged if neccesary, then a frame shop. Voice of experience. Spent $80 getting two matching frames for 2 hand painted porcelain tiles( 8 x 8 inches).

Be aware that you will be violating copyright law if you have the etchings reproduced and no reputable place will do it for you for that reason. Geissler died in 1965 so his copyrights are in effect until at least 2035, longer if his heirs renew them which is likely to happen given his reputation.
