Hello!

I am posting such topic, knowing very good, that sell something created by not famous author is almost unpossible.

So, I try a kind of mix - "collage" of my photography and not mine, but original and certificated item (a page from old XV Century print with certificate), see example:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/325090257213

What do You think?

Another idea: What do You think about selling such photography (digital print, of course highest fine-art quality print and paper) - and, as we know, that photography is hard to sell because it lack an element of creator / artist handwork, natively unreplicable, I think about selling and describing item, for example, as

"photography: base medium, processed digitally and by hand-painting (painting and collage on the printed paper medium added by artist by hand-work), such item gains 3d-elements, like elements add by glue or other media (mixed with acrylic or other paint) etc.

As an example I may present such photograhy, which is documentary photography of horses on street of medieval town centre (Cracow, Poland) - and after lightroom basic editing, photography is processed digitally (and, as I could name it, "enhanced by spirits" (which is a case, in fact :-))..

Title is: "Women Warrior in armour, Gurdjieff Ghost Horse and two knight-riders preparing to Faith"

By the way, do You see the Warrior - Lady? (bust in breastplate) ;)?

best regards

To be honest I feel it's a bit gimmicky, but that's just a personal view. My main concern would be that you appear to have trimmed the incunabula leaf to make it fit your presentation. If you hadn't done that, you could have sold it on for the price you're asking for the collage. Cutting up the leaf effectively ruins it as an independent collectible item - even folding it over (if that's what you've done) is really not a great idea.
