<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moreotherstuff, post: 56916, member: 56&quot;]I got a copy of this print on the weekend. (this photo is from online and the colors of mine are slightly different):</p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/hoozzatt/Temp/zz-f_zpsewqe6vnl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The print is <u>Vue de la Place Royale</u> by Jacques Rigaud, an 18th century French engraver.</p><p><br /></p><p>My copy is not 18th century.&nbsp; It is likely quite modern, maybe within the last 20 years, but it looks like an engraving, and it feels like an engraving, and there is a plate mark surrounding the image.&nbsp; My copy of the print has a blind stamp identifying it as from the Louvre, department of Chalcographie.&nbsp; The above picture comes from this link:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.chalcographiedulouvre.com/html/2b/selection/page_notice-ok.php?Ident=D&amp;NoticeId=33&amp;myPos=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.chalcographiedulouvre.com/html/2b/selection/page_notice-ok.php?Ident=D&amp;NoticeId=33&amp;myPos=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.chalcographiedulouvre.com/html/2b/selection/page_notice-ok.php?Ident=D&amp;NoticeId=33&amp;myPos=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As you can see in the link, copies of this print can be ordered from the Louvre, minimum quantity of three.&nbsp; So that&#039;s what I have here.</p><p><br /></p><p>The question is:&nbsp; what kind of print is this?&nbsp; Is this a re-strike from the original plate?&nbsp; Does it make a difference?&nbsp; Does anyone know?&nbsp; The link doesn&#039;t specify any price, it just says talk to the department, so I&#039;m guessing they&#039;re not cheap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
