Rare Lowry print discovered in toilet

A RARE signed Lowry print has been discovered in a toilet at a charity shop in Aberaeron.

Thrilled volunteers at the Red Cross shop have been told by experts that the numbered image is a reproduction of one of the painter’s infamous ‘matchstick men’ paintings of city life and had been hand-signed by the artist before his death in 1976.

The limited edition print of LS Lowry’s painting of St Luke’s Church in London was donated to the charity shop in a box full of items at the beginning of the year.

The box was stored in the upstairs bathroom, awaiting sorting - but then a volunteer noticed a signature and a number on the print and wondered if it was valuable.
