Art History/Silk Print

Question
Hi,
 I have a very nice silk print, signed by what looks like,"Cpl K Lawrence", and the name, also in hand writing "Katrin".
 I would appreciate any information regarding this picture.
                     Thanks, Nick.

Answer
Hi Nick - and thanks for your question (my apologies for the delay in replying.)  I can't possibly comment on your print without seeing it ... and I think your very best option is to take it to a local fine art dealer who may be able to offer more advice.  I don't know of a Corporal Lawrence - he doesn't feature in the annals of art's histories next to the likes of da Vinci or Monet .. but maybe he will one day.  I don't undertake such speculation nor do I do valuations.  A fine art dealer is, really, your best next step.  Sorry I couldn't help.
Cheers
Jeni
