Question a friend of mine recently passed away and left me some prints. I ahve never heard of the artist, Eulalie Van Geert
& S. Wang & Elizabeth King Brownd. Do you haven any info?
Answer It would be helpful to know what kind of prints they are. Could they be posters (ie., printed on a commercial press)?
Eulalie van Geert seems to be associated with flowers. I would suspect that the print you have may be floral, maybe not. I can find no information at all about her as an artist.
S. Wang shows up as Dan S. Wang. (Wang is a very popular name.)
I think he is active in the Portland area, but he lives and works in Chicago. You might send him an e-mail to pin this down. Here's is Dan S. Wang's e-mail address: danwang@mindspring.com
Elizabeth King Brownd is much easier. She has on the market thousands of posters (usually under $20). Her framed prints go from $120 to maybe over $300 for a very popular print.
Here is an URL that you can access to see a lot of her prints and the prices:
