<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cris Drugan ISA-AM, post: 407596, member: 8484&quot;]In 1838 the guild of the <i>Printsellers&#039; Association</i> was set up, later known as the <i>Fine Art Trade Guild</i>, and one of its aims was to regulate the number of proofs printed before commencing the main run of a plate. The presence of their blind stamp is therefore clear evidence that a print is a proof. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Stamp#cite_note-2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Stamp#cite_note-2" rel="nofollow">[2]</a> Blind stamps were not part of the printing process, but were added on completion of the run and consequently vary in their placing on the prints.</p><p><a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=nbxFOR8ujlYC&amp;pg=PA149&amp;lpg=PA149&amp;dq=PrintSellers+Association+blindstamp&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=11gh14NWw2&amp;sig=VLpirl9NDBgXTcO_s0L-r5AdKT4&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjF3Yao6NjdAhVSVK0KHSqpBuAQ6AEwBXoECAEQAQ#v=onepage&amp;q=PrintSellers%20Association%20blindstamp&amp;f=false" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://books.google.com/books?id=nbxFOR8ujlYC&amp;pg=PA149&amp;lpg=PA149&amp;dq=PrintSellers+Association+blindstamp&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=11gh14NWw2&amp;sig=VLpirl9NDBgXTcO_s0L-r5AdKT4&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjF3Yao6NjdAhVSVK0KHSqpBuAQ6AEwBXoECAEQAQ#v=onepage&amp;q=PrintSellers%20Association%20blindstamp&amp;f=false" rel="nofollow">https://books.google.com/books?id=nbxFOR8ujlYC&amp;pg=PA149&amp;lpg=PA149&amp;dq=PrintSellers+Association+blindstamp&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=11gh14NWw2&amp;sig=VLpirl9NDBgXTcO_s0L-r5AdKT4&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjF3Yao6NjdAhVSVK0KHSqpBuAQ6AEwBXoECAEQAQ#v=onepage&amp;q=PrintSellers Association blindstamp&amp;f=false</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
