"Old St. Louis Cathedral" Limited Edition Print by Michifor

This item is a limited edition art print titled "Old St. Louis Cathedral," created by an artist whose signature appears to read 'Michifor' or a similar spelling. The print depicts a charming street scene with prominent architectural elements, including multi-story buildings with balconies on either side of a thoroughfare that recedes into the distance. In the background, the distinctive spires of a cathedral, presumably the St. Louis Cathedral, are visible amidst trees. A horse-drawn carriage can be seen in the middle ground, adding a historical or nostalgic touch to the setting. The color palette primarily consists of earthy tones, with warm browns, greens, and grays, suggesting a soft, perhaps early morning or late afternoon light. The print is numbered 364 out of a total edition of 2000, indicating its status as a limited edition. The numbering and artist's signature are hand-written in what appears to be pencil or ink, located in the lower left and lower right corners, respectively, just beneath the image itself. The item is currently unframed, presenting as a print on paper with a noticeable cream or off-white border surrounding the artwork. There are signs of minor wear on the border, including small dark marks and slight creasing or indentations, particularly in the top left area, suggesting it may have been handled or stored without full protection. The print itself appears to be in good condition with no immediately visible damage to the image area. The craftsmanship suggests a commercially produced art print, likely a giclee or offset lithograph, typical of late 20th to early 21st-century limited edition prints.
