Wildlife Art And Prints Appraisal

Collection of Three Matted Prints with Wildlife and Native American Themes

This collection consists of three individual prints, each matted, featuring wildlife and Native American-inspired themes. All prints appear to be either photographic, lithographic, or high-quality digital reproductions, presented under clear protective covers (likely plastic film or glass, though not definitively discernible). The overall condition of the prints and matting appears to be good, with no obvious signs of significant wear, fading, or damage. The mats themselves are a neutral beige or light tan color, suggesting a uniform presentation style for the collection. The first print depicts what appears to be a fishing fly or a similarly crafted item with feathers and possibly a hook, set against a warm, brownish background. It is matted with a double mat, featuring a darker brown inner mat that frames the image effectively. The second print showcases a bald eagle's head emerging from a dark opening or shadow, with a powerful, focused gaze. This print also utilizes a double mat, with a dark blue or black inner mat providing a strong contrast to the subject. The third and largest print features a detailed illustration of a bald eagle's head centered within a dreamcatcher design. The dreamcatcher has a woven web and three prominent feathers hanging from it. This print has a more elaborate double mat, with a dark blue inner mat featuring a decorative, zigzag cut along its inner edge, adding a stylistic embellishment. All mat openings are precisely cut, indicating good quality finishing. Below the dreamcatcher print, a signature is visible, possibly 'Don T..m', though partially obscured and difficult to fully decipher from the image. The prints are likely artistic interpretations, possibly by a single artist given the consistent subject matter and presentation style. The estimated age is contemporary, likely late 20th to early 21st century, consistent with modern printing and matting techniques. No manufacturing marks are visible beyond the potential artist's signature.
