[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4286427, member: 8267"]I am also suspicious about the copyright stamp. Here is a brief discussion of "oleographs": "Occasionally, when we receive a painting into the studio, the medium is revealed to be different to what our client believed it to be. One of the most common culprits of this case of mistaken identity is the oleograph. Defined as ‘a print textured to resemble an oil painting’, the process of creating an oleograph involves attaching a print onto canvas and then adding varnish to create the close look of an oil painting. Oleographs can very convincingly resemble oil paintings, especially as the varnish yellows with age. Oleography was widely used in the late 19th century, and involved the process of chromolithography, using a range of between 15-20 colours. A stamping process is used to imitate a canvas surface and the thick strokes of oil paint."
