    Antique Engraved Print: How can you tell if it's origina?
    I recently came across what I think is an engraved print from Jean Baptiste de Poilly a French Artist from the 1700's.

    The print looks very old and is in color (granted a bit faded). The Picture is a large floral arrangement. How do I tell if it's a reproduction or the real thing? It looks like the reproductions sell for $300 and the real things for $3,000.

    There's enough information there that copying and pasting it on this site wouldn't be justified.

    Thanks!
