Here's a sad tale - an artist and lecturer was busted for selling fake prints by the likes of Leonard Beaumont, after experts noticed they still smelt of turpentine. Sheridan Tandy did, however, manage to sell some of his fakes at regional auction house Lawrences (and I think the image above was one of them). Tandy was found guilty, but spared jail. One of the reasons I don't buy 20th Century prints. More here.
