I expect Galens work will be increasing in value exponentially pretty soon. Personally, I think most of his work fits right into his comments. Scarcity will raise the value of anything. Image quality is something you have to judge according to the standards of the time the work was made. You cannot judge it by todays standard with any degree of credibility. William Robb <snip>
