<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 419346, member: 201&quot;]In the art world, the only prints that are usually called &quot;originals&quot; are ones where the artist was directly involved in the printing, which are normally hand-signed and numbered.</p><p><br /></p><p>With prints like these, they were commercially produced, so original vs restrike isn&#039;t so important. For highly collectible works, like Currier and Ives prints, there may be collectors who care, though.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think it matters to buyers of these types of prints, either. I think they mostly purchase them for the image or the historical significance, not to have an original in the contemporary sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I do say &quot;original,&quot; meaning original to the time it was first produced, when I list antique prints since there are sellers who make reproductions to sell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
