Default Picasso Windmills Lithograph?

I bought this at a garage sale because I have always liked the print. The lady I purchased it from said it was left in the house by the previous owners when she moved in(1975). I looked at it through a 10xlens and it does not have the pixilation of a modern print( or any pixilation ). The paper? is also very thick. As I am a novice, just wondering how I could determine what this was considering it was mass produced in print, lithograph,canvas etc... Do not want to take it apart as it has been in the same frame for 40 or so years. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thnx.

I'm no expert, however, I would think that a Picasso Don Quixote litho would be numbered and dated. Could be under the frame.

Actually the title of the print is "El Quixote II" by Salvadore Dali. It was an adjunct to his "Five Immortals" series. Can't help you with authentication. However, he usually signed and numbered his woodblocks or intaglio signed his etchings or lithos after a limited numbered edition.
