What do you think the work of Mate or not?

You might ask, whether the author is a mark?
I think not.

It is considered that any list of copyright edition is the original and a full-fledged work of art, if it is printed and signed by the author. Signed, usually done pencil on wet paper. In this case, it is impossible to erase without obvious signs of erasure, as the pencil cuts deeply into the paper. Signature is in the lower right corner of the image, while the year of creation engraving (ie, year of establishment of the board and not the time of printing of the print paper). The left side of the print is written the name prints and indicates the manner of execution.

In black and white etchings practiced designation numbers of impressions (circulation) and the serial number of the print - the so-called signatures. For example, the signature "4 /30" means that the author of the printed board was made 30 prints, and before our fourth. Obviously, this rule set is not the artists themselves (which are often print edition in several stages, as the author can be difficult and sometimes impossible to foresee the need for impressions and to determine the size of circulation).
