[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 386454, member: 56"]The pictures aren't great, but it seems to have the granular texture you would expect from an aquatint. I don't think that texture belongs with any other pre-modern repro technique. And it does have a plate mark. I'm uncertain as to how the color was applied, but tiny discrepancies indicate handwork. Can't tell if the color was applied to the plate or afterwards (could be some of each). I see no reason to change my earlier opinion. The condition is really bad. A lot of acid damage. When you put it back together, at least put a new piece of paper behind the print. Pretty much anything will be an improvement. Just don't use corrugated.[/QUOTE]
