I have a picture, probably some sort of a silk screen process dating
back to purchase in circa l950 and on the original price tag there is
a word  that appears to be (PERANE-SES). The picture is on the back
side of the glass.  The picture is of Trajan's  Arch at Beneventum. I
would like to know the meaning of that word (one letter not ledgeable)
and any other information about the process if available.

Hi Lamont~

Is it possible for you to post a picture of the tag and give us a link to it?

Hi Lamont,

The word sounds like a deviation of the Italian artist Piranesi -
Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) who was an Italian engraver.

Go to this link and see if the picture bears any similarity to his
engraving of Trajan's Arch.

Sorry Kriswrite, I can't do that due to limitations of webtv.

Hi Michael,  I looked at the photo and it is not the same.  It is
quite different actually.  There is no grid, screen, or whatever shown
in your photo in the arch.  Mine is a view slightly from the right and
has two figures under the arch and  three and a horse to the right
foreground and a horseman in the right background.  On the left, only
partially visible is another ruins and there are other structures in
the background.
