Originals and PrintsFirst poster was right, second poster was sort of right. Prints are reproductions, PRINTMAKING is a technique by which one can make art, (painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpting are all examples). If you're talking about purchasing one or the other, they are definitely two distinct things. You can purchase a print of an artwork made by printmaking; it just means it is not the original artwork, it is a reproduction, usually downscaled and printed on paper.

The below answer isn't entirely true. Printmaking techniques are original artworks, these include etchings, collagraphs, lithographs, lino cuts, wood cuts etc. So maybe there's no difference.

A print is a reproduction. It is not the original. It's a copy.

To add to this answer, an original (for instance a painting) is the original piece that was created by the artist. A print (or lithograph) is a result of having the original photographed, or more likely now digitally scanned, and reproduced in mass quantity on a printing press resulting in multiple quality reproductions.

The value of a print portrait of Lord Seaham as a boy?

The value of a print portrait of Lord Seaham as a boy can vary significantly based on factors such as its condition, rarity, and the artist's reputation. If it is an original print from a notable artist or a limited edition, it may fetch a higher price among collectors. Additionally, historical significance and provenance can enhance its value. For an accurate appraisal, consulting an art expert or auction house specializing in prints would provide the best insight.


When art dealers speak of a print does that mean that the original lithographic plate is not the print but the actual original?

When art dealers speak of a print in reference to a Lithograph they mean that the metal plate is what the Lithograph is printed from. Lithograph's are all prints technically, and the ones that are double signed by the artist are considered original prints.


What is the value of 1904 copyright print by Taber Prang with Indians shooting flaming arrows in original frame with relief of tobacco pipe and anactual arrow?

I bought the same print with original frame and glass in 1974 at an antique shop. At that time, I paid $50. I believe the print is titled "The Signal" or "Waiting for the Signal". The print is beautiful and the frame unique. I would think it might fetch between $275-$350 today. The highest price paid for a Tabor Prang print on Ebay was $350 to my knowledge. The frame may be the wild card.


I have a print of a rodeo clown with a horse and he is holding a white shaggy dog with four young children in front of him. What is the value of a Harland Young signed print?

While one can find oil paintings by Harland Young listed at gallery retail prices anywhere between $6,000- $40,000 (some more, some much less), in reality, at auction, his paintings have not yet brought in much more than $300. Faced with such wildly varying differences, I think it would be safe to say that, at least in the current marketplace, one would likely find an original S/N print being sold for between $200- $400, depending on condition and desirability of the subject at hand.


Can there be more than 1 original Drawn and Etched of the same print?

There is only one original if it is a drawing. However, an etching created from a drawing and then printed creates what is referred to as an edition of prints. Each print is an original of sorts, printed from the same etched plate, and numbered as to it's position in the run.
