[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 323014, member: 56"]Then I don't know. Maybe checking the paper for a watermark would help. Is the company still around? Can you ask them? Or whoever it was who did the 1990 re-strike? The Louvre Museum has a department called Chalcographie (chalcography is another name for prints pulled from copper plates) that does re-strikes from plates in their collections. I have one, and the paper used has a Louvre watermark. [URL]https://www.francetoday.com/culture/art_and_design/chalgographie_-_musee_du_louvre/[/URL] If the Louvre has such a department, other museums might as well. ******* My Louvre print also has a great honking blind stamp in the margin, which is pretty darn obvious, but I had forgotten. ******* And it is missing the original publication information (including the date), which is on the originals.[/QUOTE]
