I have an autographed lithograph of what I think is James Tissot’s “Seeking the Magi” -a scene of three men on camels leading a caravan. In the lower left hand of the lithograph is the line “copyright by J. James Tissot ’95-’96”. This picture has been in my family since I was a child (I’m way past seventy now).I’m trying to ascertain the value of this litho, if there is any. Please let me know if you can assist me in any way.
Thank you,
Sylvia Proger

I too, have a set of 3 volumes of “The Life of Jesus Christ” by J. James Tissot (Werner Co.15 Oct 1897)with the inscription to “Mr. Gladstone”. The pages on the left are written in French and the pages on the right are in English. They also have onion skin paper protecting the illustrated pages. I would be interested in selling them if anyone knew a fair value.

Hi
I have a two volume set “The Life Of Our Lord Jesus Christ” in a brown binding also with the “Gladstone 1897” inscription on page A. There are other inscriptions dated 6 March 1930 and 1982. I bought these in a second-hand book shop in Worthing, West Sussex, England a few years ago for a few pounds.
How can I find out how much these are worth today?
Thanks

In reply to Mimi Nolan.

I am studying the bible
I viewed the Tissot exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of art in 2010 and was inspired
I would be interested in purchasing your books if they are still available

In reply to Brian H.

was that information for me brian? From what i understand this far, the edition A did not contain true signature.. the editions that followed have very specific signatures as they were part of a special group of replica. Forgive my ignorance but do any of you know how many of each volume 1-4 are believed to be circulating in either edition “A” or “B” . It seems to me that the catholicchapterhouse has pictures in their display but i am having alot of trouble locating the residency of the edition “A” volume “three”….365 from four by j. james Tissot translated by Mrs.Arthur Bell- McClure- tissot company new york MDCCCXCIX C.1895, C.1896, C.1899?

If the signature is real it will smudge if you rub it with a moist finger .
