<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moreotherstuff, post: 169833, member: 56&quot;]The painting was done in 1653 and signed with name and date at that time.&nbsp; Any reproduction will include the name and date because it&#039;s painted on the original picture.&nbsp; Any label on a reproduction is likely to include that information as well as part of identifying the picture.&nbsp; The paper is more likely to be brittle on a more modern print as it would be done on machine made, acidic paper (more modern, in this case, meaning post industrial revolution).&nbsp; 17th C paper would likely be less brittle as it would be hand made with less acidic materials (e.g. linen fiber vs. wood fiber).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
