One gets into several issues here. The situation is not entirely 
dissimilar from re-strikes of many engravings pulled after n artist's 
death. This is not an uncommon occurrence, and has occurred with the 
works of many prominent folk (such as Rembrandt). With respect to the 
map world, think about the commemorative re-strikes pulled from the 
original copperplate of Andrew Ellicott's 1792 "Plan of the City of 
Washington..." (https://www.loc.gov/item/88694166/).
