Interesting. Was going to ask how the repros
were printed since originals stone/hand drawn litho.
Can't seem to find an image or any original online, seems unusually rare.

The repros were around persistently (and being
auctioned) still in the late 90s. Apart from
anything else, they just looked far too new.
Rather alarming that they were proper lithos.
True or not, there were stories about the
original plates being rediscovered enabling them to be printed.
I personally only ever saw one genuine vintage
original, and it was like night and day, with
the typical aging (as others have referred to)
of French paper from that time, especially
along the folds. However, you do occasionally
come across even French white paper from that
period that hasnât aged that much - very
recently saw a French Grande Le Conformiste
where this was the case, although that did have
some ink transfer marks from the black where it had been folded.

I thought the repros were not litho printed?
