<p>[QUOTE="sunday silence, post: 4272842, member: 6808"]Yeah the plate thing that you mention is probably what happened. There are known fakes [of this particular Picasso set] that have been produced by people reversing the process and producing plates from the originals. Not sure if that would produce a reverse image or what. So that maybe what's going on here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also that embossing, or blind stamp whatever it is, if you could figure out what that means. Perhaps it might be a personal collector stamp to indicate it belongs in his collection. It does not appear to be an authentic water mark in any case.</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: see part in brackets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
