Do William Russell Flint prints have value?
During his lifetime he produced a number of pencil signed limited edition prints many publish by Frost and Reed, W J Stacey and The Medici Society, often with a blind stamp.
After his death publishers like Michael Stewart Fine Art and Venture Prints produced unsigned limited editions.
Around the 1980’s-1990’s these prints were marketed heavily and were seen as an investment but a large number of prints were produced in high numbers. Lists of prices on the secondary market were published with high prices being paid by investors and collectors. Eventually they fell out of fashion with many disappointed investors.
However these are still attractive good quality prints, if not time faded, but now only command a fraction of their peak value.
Unless we are buying a collection we would not normally buy these as they would not be commercial for us to buy.
