This was my great grandmothers - I have found some information about it, I dare not remove the back as it is all original framing. From what I could find out about Frederick Keppel, he was a huge art dealer. I am trying to find a reputable art dealer who might know more about this etching and advise possible worth, so I can get it properly insured.

I believe these are his quotes...
"In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."
"Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself."
