<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 46998, member: 56"]I believe that the earliest version is the Princeton example with identification scratched on the plate under the image. That identification includes the date 1764. The "4" in that date is ambiguous. It might be a "3" that was changed to a "4". Either way, I believe that print pre-dates yours, if only by some nominal amount. That informal identification was then erased (scraping/burnishing - doesn't matter), but traces of the lettering remain and can be seen on both your example and the British Museum example. After that, more formal captioning was added to the image as shown in Fig's link, but I believe that the traces of lettering from the earlier example are carried over and can be seen on the formally captioned later image.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that what you are considering with respect to the Antiques Roadshow are examples of prints pulled from plates produced by Rembrandt, but after Rembrandt's death.
