Museum Label Appraisal

Artwork Information Label: Aberfeddy Camserney Burn

This item is a brown, rectangular paper label, seemingly handcrafted, with handwritten text in dark ink. It is affixed to or printed on what appears to be the backboard of a framed artwork, likely made of particle board or Medium-Density Fibreboard (MDF) due to its speckled, uniform texture. The label itself measures approximately 5-6 inches in width and 3-4 inches in height, though precise dimensions are not ascertainable from the image. It features a hand-drawn double-line border, indicating a deliberate design. The handwritten details include a 'TITLE' field, which reads 'ABERFEDDY CAMSERNEY BURN', suggesting it's the title of the artwork. Below this, a 'PRICE' of '£30' is listed. Further down, contact information 'MISS GILL CRAIG' and an address '172 CRAIGLEITH ROAD EDINBURGH EH4 2EE' are provided. The writing style is neat, legible cursive. The material of the 'backboard' shows minor signs of use, primarily light dust and perhaps some very minor scuffing consistent with an older item. The label itself appears well-preserved with no significant tears, creases, or fading of the ink. The manufacturing details point to a personalized, possibly artist-created or gallery-attached label, rather than mass-produced. The item does not appear to have significant condition issues beyond typical age-related wear on the backing board. The method of attachment (not visible if glued or taped) also suggests a bespoke approach. There are metal tabs visible at the top edge of the board, indicating it might be fastened into a frame.
