... a keyword in the polemic - "do not lie." Because if you promise to make 10 copies, and really make a 1000 - then the concept does not fit. If you really only 10 or 20 (and then destroy the file, like we do), then, in theory, the value of each remaining in the reserve print copies increases.
    But would like to recall the story of the arrested in France, a truck full of clean sheets with this signature Dali. So, if all the same - to lie, then this present Dali lithographs are somehow not quite ...
    Z.y. Just realized. This is a complete analogue photo. Unlike lithographs, 100 First impression is no different from the 1 st from the same negative. And the price is different, depending on the number of prints made.
So nothing new under the sun.

"Do not lie - it's natural. I would add another: "not misleading".

      The physical destruction of the negative reproducible, destroyed file for reproduction of paintings, both theoretically and practically, is restored 1:1 with the camera and Photoshop. But the main difference is not that. Analog with photos, can not be because, in my opinion, the picture - this is 99%of people, and print - 99%technique.
      Well, all right, I think, after the definition of "good souvenir products, specialist and clarifications made by gratitude, the issue was closed with prints itself.

      About the story of the sheets S. Dali did not hear, but willing to believe.
Sensationalism associated only with the name. In fact, quite common for an artist signed blank sheets of paper and gave them printmaker (Dali worked on the entire lithographic workshops, himself at the bench he was standing in the deep youth). The meaning of the signature and numbering just is to account for not printed on the left, and allows you to control the print quality during the process. Sometimes part of the circulation remains with the printer as a payment for the work. Good printer - a rarity and, as a rule, better prints of the artist. These people reject rate is reduced to almost zero.

There is, for example, such a scheme:
      The artist gives a print signed by 100 clean sheets and get them printed again. Then he can actually reduce the circulation, culled a few sheets, but the ordinal numbering of the press did not break.
1 /100 - means that this is the first printed sheet of one hundred printed only and not the first order of one hundred signed, liked or approved.
If withdrawn 1 /100, 2 /100 and 14/100 is a quantitative readout starts with 3 /100, 14/100 bypass, but not overprint, waste sheets. Consequently, the actual circulation is 97 pc. "... /100" - means "no more".

      What Dali signed his sheets and where they go - you can only guess.
But if you live a stone and there are real plates, designed for the stone, then printed on them lithography (in the absence of Dali) can be considered authentic, with the proviso that they were published posthumously in a certain year. Legal and ethical polls are not discussing.

P.S. All these tales told me people professionally interested in the printed graphics.
