i have just come across a set of first edition, numbered woodcuts by Jonathan Fisher and am wondering about their value..the whale above is among them. They are "deluxe numbered limited edition #370". Ther4e is an accompanying letter verifying authenticity.Each print is embossed....does anyone have any idea about their value and how to go about selling them?
