This is an original from 1886, not a reproduction! Bananastrudel sells only originals. The Bananastrudel watermark does not appear on the print. This print appeared in a special supplement of The Graphic, a British weekly illustrated newspaper with immense influence on the art world. Vincent van Gogh was a particular fan.

In very good condition. Minor tears along the borders, if any, have been repaired with archival mending tissue.
