any idea when the repros were made? this one seems to be original, no reproduction marks
60's and 70's.......even fairly recently.....it is repo....originals are printed edge to edge...any border would be a lot differant ........I own and have dealt with vintage paper and printing for a long time, and even with your images can see it is on the wrong paper and colors for the 1870's......it should be on board, rag paper, or special printers papers used for lithographs. Gloss/Finish papers like that were not used at the time.
I believe one of the outlet stores has has this poster displayed and/or for sale.
If I saw it in person I could probebly tell you a lot more and even a decade it was printed.
Look at the printing under extreme magnification and you will know the exact printing process used....
I have print materials dating back over 400 years.........
Best,

PS....It is still a fun piece!!
