vintage prints
Aged artistic reproductions
Vintage prints are original photographic prints made close to the time a photograph was taken, typically within a few years.
In photography collecting, vintage prints carry more value than later reprints because they reflect the artist's original vision and materials: The gallery specializes in vintage prints from the 1930s.
The term also applies to older decorative prints, posters, or illustrations valued for their age and period style.
