<p>[QUOTE="TT Antique, post: 4009604, member: 2653"]Whether signed on plate or not when it comes to posters unlike traditional art print quality criteria the term "original" should be interpreted differently.Ofcourse if a poster is an original print from the artist (in the traditional sense) and if it is signed after the print is made it could be considered to have a higher importance because it is also a traditionally "original" art print besides being a poster.But if a poster is produced initially in a certain photo based reproduction process and the signature is part of that process having being signed on the plate,as I understand it, in the lingo of the poster world it is "original". The term "original" in the poster sense is the initial first appearance of that poster irrespective of other print attributes. Hence if you are sure this poster was produced initially the way it appears now you have an original poster. Value or price depends on rarity and whether it is desired or collected by many or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>TTA[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
