They were inherited from my mother-in-law who told me that Norma Morgan stayed with a friend in Lancashire and drew the scenes for her. I wonder if they are of any value ?

I fell in love with it immediately even though, I figured, it wasn't worth much. The etching's title was "David in the Wilderness". After some time I started to research the artist, Norma Morgan, and discovered that she had lived an incredible, courageous life as a young artist. After some digging I found her phone number and call her. We had a wonderful conversation and she told me all about how "David in the Wilderness" was created and her time on the moors. She even helped a ewe birth a lamb, all by herself, on one of her hikes! I also discovered that "David" was included in collections at The National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC and MoMA in New York, among others. I can't tell you what an honor it is to own an edition of this very special work. I've since had it conserved and remounted in the original frame. I was wondering if you remember her working on "David" when she stayed with you. What year was that? Here is a link to see "David". http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=45930 Thank You!
