    Cries of London

    IMPORTANT NOTICE DO NOT ASK ME FOR THE VALUE - Here's why - I get about six gazillion emails each year asking me for the 'value' of these prints. Don't be such idiots! For This is a PRINT! There are a billion copies of it. It is unlikely to have a very high value at all - and you are unlikely to have an 'original print'. If you really want to know then take it in to a dealer - don't ask for a value from someone on the internet. I have published these for the sheer joy of sharing them with the 7 people in the world who apparently have not seen them - the other 5,999,999,993 apparently have and only want to know their value. If you have a genuine query about the history or the era then contact me otherwise If you are one of the morons out there who seem to think I have put up this site simply to provide you with a free appraisal service - you risk getting a very scathing message back from me.
