Charles Chaplin [Engraver, NOT film star]	by Peter Greenhill (Member 10036146) on 24-Jun-2001
I am trying to obtain some of his engravings. He worked at Sun Printers in the 1940s and 1950s, where he was a colour retoucher (gravure, I think). Anyone knowing anyone who could point me in the right direction, please contact me at tttavenu@istar.ca. If you have a Chaplin engraving in your possession, and it isn't one I've already got, I'd be interested. Or maybe you know someone who has? Reply
