original print
Not a copy
An original print is a work of art created directly by the artist through a printmaking process—etching, lithograph, woodcut, or similar technique—rather than a mechanical reproduction of an existing image.
The term distinguishes artist-made prints, typically produced in limited numbered editions, from commercial copies or posters.
The gallery specialized in original prints by twentieth-century masters.
