[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 326296, member: 56"]Given the size. it's probably safe to say you have the Goupil print. I found the image as a wood engraving, but I don't think that's relevant - not your print. I did find an entry that said a facsimile of the Girardet engraving of Antigna's "Labor of Love" (a reasonable translation) was issued in 1877 as a heliotype. I've never knowingly handled a heliotype so I wouldn't know how faithful such a facsimile might be. From The American Bookman 1877 (vol. 3): [ATTACH=full]108911[/ATTACH] I suppose it's encouraging that the image has been reproduced so many times, and in so many ways.[/QUOTE]
