<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TT Antique, post: 9731403, member: 2653&quot;]Just to eliminate a possible (albeit irritating) candidate (especially&nbsp; from the mid to late last century), try to remove it from the frame and see closely if there are halftone dot patterns. If so it is just a nice vintage reproduction&nbsp; using offset or other photomechanical methods. Also check if there are the obvious printer name or stamp at the&nbsp; edges. </p><p>For good guidance, I highly recommend&nbsp; you the book on antique&nbsp; prints&nbsp; by David Cycleback </p><p><br /></p><p><b>The Basics of Authenticating Antique and Art Prints </b></p><p>You can type it on Google&nbsp; and can download the pdf&nbsp;&nbsp; free from his site. Check chapter 6, also the section on papers.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you do not see the halftone dot patterns, then continue your research. But the fact that the print does not have a dot pattern does not necessarily make it an original print, as you still need to eliminate the possibility&nbsp; of the newer digital&nbsp; printing&nbsp; methods that are more difficult to establish (eg. Giclee). The nature of the paper&nbsp; may also give some ideas. If still in doubt have it seen by an expert.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope it helps</p><p><br /></p><p>TTA[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
