[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 415869, member: 649"]Have you tried contacting the original artist through her website? She'd probably have tips on how to determine an original from a reprint. In 1994, there was a "limited edition lithograph" done of the poster. The picture area is smaller and it also includes a wide white border with the signatures of the Stones and the number of the printing out of 5000. Yours definitely isn't from that reprint. However, I'm sure the poster has been reproduced a lot throughout the years (and it still is.) The Sunday Sun Times interview with the artist (linked on her website) states, "Almost all of the posters were destroyed, except for a dozen or so the artist gave to friends". Taking that statement into account, there are oddly quite a few "original" posters for sale on the web! All these claimed "originals" are the correct 20x30 inches size and printed in bright colors with metallic inks, like yours. So, it seems likely that not all the reproductions were done poorly.
