Question: If you make a print of an original drawing, is the print considered an original!?
Would the value be a lot lower than selling the original without making any prints!? This is a graphite/charcoal drawing on acid-free medium weight lightly textured sketch paper!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Yes the value will be considerably lower then the original!. The reproduction cannot still be considered an "original" however you can print a certain amount of the piece and sell it as a "limited edition" like 2/100 (meaning the second print of a limited edition of 100)!. Signing the limited edition is also recommended!. Limited editions can sell for a good price but not as high as the true original!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Only the original is the original, a print would be a copy & therefore not original!.
