For the record, I bought it from a very experienced hobbyist/dealer and he told me it came from a folio. I never knew it came from a book until this thread.

I would think that your seller has some explaining to do

Well, I bought it in a group so probably won't go back to him. As of yesterday, and I am sure today too, he still has at least one, if not more, of these same types (not exact same pic but from the same book) listed on ebay as coming from a portfolio. I consider it a learning experience as I do everything else. If I ever sell it I will make sure I list it as coming from the book it did. That book is quite an expensive book, I noticed, as I was doing some more research yesterday. Live and learn. And yes, of course, he should say where they really came from if he knows.

It may have been removed from a book, but it looks frameworthy...I'd frame it up if I were you Leon.
