[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 320477, member: 56"]How do you know yours isn't original? Bartolozzi prints aren't that hard to come by. The BM copy is "proof before title". Yours has the title. It seems about the same size. The trimming on yours might lie just inside the plate mark. (That was fairly common practice with old prints.) Is there printing on the back of the sheet? Is there a watermark? What kind of paper is it printed on: laid, or wove? You could search other Bartolozzi prints to see what kind of paper they are printed on. I don't know that it is original, but there are questions to be asked.[/QUOTE]
