Also known as

Sandy-Hook, Georges Taboureau

Sandy-Hook was the professional name used by Georges Taboureau, a French painter, poster artist, and illustrator who lived from 1879 to 1960. Library authority records connect the name with poster production, while surviving catalogue references include graphic advertising associated with travel and maritime companies. These records help distinguish the artist from geographic places and other subjects called Sandy Hook. Collectors may encounter his work under either Sandy-Hook or Georges Taboureau, particularly when researching posters, printed graphics, illustrations, and paintings. The collected sources do not establish a specific artistic movement or school, so classification should remain centered on his documented occupations and media rather than an assumed stylistic affiliation. His poster activity and use of a pseudonym also make careful name matching important: signatures, inscriptions, publication details, printer information, and subject matter can help determine whether an auction record or physical work belongs to this artist.

Common works and media

Documented work types include paintings, posters, and illustrations. Authority records specifically identify Sandy-Hook as a poster artist and list travel or shipping-related poster titles, making original posters and other printed graphic material especially relevant to identity research. Auction listings may also classify works under fine art, paintings, works on paper, or prints. Each object should be assessed through its actual medium, printing or edition details, dimensions, inscriptions, condition, and attribution rather than through a broad category alone.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's February 2026 market snapshot matched records under Sandy Hook and Georges Taboureau, including 55 auction records and 28 with reported prices. The snapshot reported a median realized result near $750 and an observed range from $100 to $4,375, but these figures are descriptive rather than predictive. A useful appraisal should compare like with like, separating paintings from posters, prints, illustrations, and other works on paper. Dimensions, date, condition, restoration, signature or inscription, edition details, provenance, attribution confidence, and the relevance of recent comparable sales can all affect interpretation. Reported auction totals may also differ in their treatment of buyer's premiums and fees, while private transactions and incomplete feeds may not appear in public data.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Fine art and paintings
  • Works on paper and prints
  • Posters and other graphic works

Value drivers

  1. Medium, dimensions, date, and relationship to the artist's working period
  2. Condition, restoration history, and surface quality
  3. Signature, inscriptions, edition information, and attribution confidence
  4. Provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references
  5. Recent public auction results for works comparable in type, subject, size, date, and condition
  6. Subject matter, rarity, and current demand

Appraisal caveats

  • Treat public auction records as a starting point rather than a final appraisal.
  • Compare results only when medium, dimensions, condition, attribution, and reported fees are reasonably similar.
  • Do not infer authorship or authentication from a matched artist name or auction-category label alone.
