<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 388225, member: 56"]A plate mark is not a guarantee that a print is old, nor is it a guarantee that a print is an etching or engraving. Your print looks to me like a photo-mechanical reproduction (because of the dot matrix patterning) with a decorative plate mark added for a touch more "realism". I think that in this context the plate mark is just a bit of added embossing and has nothing to do with the printing of the image.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
