[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 241298, member: 56"]That second link says "del. et sculp" is a London publisher, which is nonsense. It translates as "drawn and engraved" and means the one person was responsible for both. I'm not seeing any sign of chain lines in the paper, which would be expected with laid paper, but that may be a lack of clarity in the photos. It's also not apparent that the lines are engraved (perhaps for the same reason). It's not encouraging that multiple copies of this print are currently on the eBay. I think you're going to need a closer look. You might want to hold the paper up to a light to see if there's a watermark. [ATTACH=full]73824[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
