Don Davey is a local New Orleans artist-his prints currently sell for $10.00. They are only worth real money if they are signed and numbered, with means they are limited edition. You can find the current secondary market price of limited edition pieces at: Artexpediter.com. If you do a yahoo search of Dan Davey, you can find galleries that carry his pieces in New Orleans. Hope this helps.

I just purchased (at a second-hand shop) two Don Davey prints, signed and dated (1977) of black and white (either graphite or unnumbered lithos of drawings) of San Francisco scenes. He also did drawings of New Orleans and the Monterey, CA peninsula. He began his career at the American Academy of Art in Chicago. His illustrations have been in McCalls, Sat. Evening Post and Fortune. He served on the faculty of the Academy of Art in San Francisco and helped form the Society of Illustrators which he served as president. He has a painting in the permanent collection of the U.S. Air Force. The popularity of his work is best acknowledged by the public's acquisition of well over one million lithographs by collectors both here and abroad. Barbara

I purchased a year ago two prints [i believe to be in pencil] from a woman that bought them on a visit to New Orleans....she paid 40 dollars each for them....i got them for a steal..... these are in excellent contion still wrapped in plastic which has faded yellow...i recently had them framed....they look great. I'm interested in what the price of these pieces would be today....one is dated and signed in 1976, and the other in 1980. Please give me some feedback on this if you know how valuable they may be. I'M ALSO INTERESTED IN PURCHASING ONLY ORIGINALS IF ANYONE WANTS TO SELL.

Approximately 20 years ago we received a signed, coprighted Don Davey pencil sketch of Pirates Alley, New Orleans, dated 1976. A thumbnail biog at the back of the pic refers prospective buyers to Colony Publishing Inc., 1605-A Del Monte Blvd., Seaside, California, 93955.Of course that address may now be obsolete but it may provide a clue to be followed up.

I have a signed lithograph or orginal print "Bourbon Streen New Orleans" which came from an art gallery in New Orleans in 1981. It's dated 1980 and signed with copyright mark. It looks original but I've heard lithographs can look like pencil drawings. Does anyone know the value? I've seen posters sold of the same print.

I came here searching for info on Davey prints because we are an ebay seller's assistant ane we are about to list 4 of his signed prints. We haven't been able to turn up much info on them, so if anyone has anything to add, take a look at the photos via our website www.e- sellitnow.com and follow the link to our auctions then email me. Naturally, feel free to bid, also, but this wasn't meant to solicit bids.

I have 2 drawings by Don Davey. Both dated 1977. One is of Golden Gate Bridge and another of California Street, San Francisco. Both are 4"by 6" and framed. They are both signed. I think they are originals. Does anybody knowes how much is worth? Thanks, Eugenia.

-- eugenia (salin@sbcglobal.net), August 20, 2004.

Don Davey prints go for approximately $10 to $25 depending on theme. originals are rare and hard to locate....his preffered method was charcoal...quite a few of his originals ended up damaged or partially errased...by byers checking with an erraser weather they were originals or lithographs! In any case....the guy draws like a genius...so if anyone has ORIGINALS (but don't use an eraser to check!) - drop me an email - I am collecting and ready to pay a fair price! Thnks Sam

I recently found a Don Davy original in un-opened plastic from 1976 in a San Francisco setting.It is beautiful.

-- Ana Marie (anamariedomeup@yahoo.com), October 20, 2004.

I met Don over the phone in which we had lengthy phone conversations about computers. Afterwards much to my surprise he sent me a rather large print of the latin quarter down in New Orleans. Later I drove down to see him, and had him sign the print. He was very hospitible, and we visited for a couple of hours in his home. He showed me his studio, and some of the preliminary sketchs he was working on. he advised me if I ever had a chance to read the "Art Spirit". Nice, personble talented guy who never let on about his emense popularity. I feel fortunate to not only have a signed print, but a chance to also get a little aquainted with the artist.
