I've just stumbled on ebay, the online auction site. There are lots of Hiroshige prints selling there, but I can't tell whether they are originals or copies. One group claims to be 1870 Hiroshige, but that doesn't seem to make sense, and the prints themselves look to be much later. Can anyone out there offer some advice to steer me through? What's the best way to tell an original when all you have is a computer scan? Are these ebay prints originals or copies?
