<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 219670, member: 37&quot;]This is modern paper as far as I can tell from the photo.&nbsp; It would not have been available in 1777.&nbsp; I provided the link about laid paper so that you can determine this for yourself.&nbsp;&nbsp; The original this was produced from would have been hand colored and faded.&nbsp; When a reproduction was made from it, all subtleties of the original would be conveyed to the print.&nbsp; Also, if this were produced in 1777, I would expect to see a plate impression around the image.&nbsp; In fact, you can see the plate impression in both images I posted above.&nbsp; I see none in yours.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
