[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 10589147, member: 56"]Here's another from The Met [URL]https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/714188[/URL] Compare the paper size (note that the Met says its sheet has been trimmed) Also notice that what is written under the title on The Met print looks to be different from what is on yours. Given a date in the late 19th C, it might be a steel engraving produced for a book or illustrated magazine of the period. The plates for such prints could move around and be re-struck by various publishers. What was written under the title could be changed to suit the needs of whoever was publishing it. Clear close-ups will help to clarify. If there is any dot matrix, it will show up in a colored section. Early reproduction methods were good with lines, but not so good with tonal gradations.[/QUOTE]
