I love you all.

I want to say that the stone is the original and the rubbing is a reproduction.  But then I think: we don’t consider woodcuts to be reproductions of the wood blocks.  

What would Mary do?

Exactly. And to add to the difficulty, I don't really know when my rubbing was made. So, can I copy catalog on LC's record?

Hi have a map that is a rubbing from a stone. So, it's a one of a kind, hand done rubbing but a reproduction of a map on stone. 

So is it a manuscript or is the rubbing method simply the printing process?

Help.
