We have found that the difference between the original and counterfeit is aesthetically important, which does not mean that the original is necessarily better than the counterfeit. An inspired reproduction may be more rewarding than an original painting; a damaged one The original may have lost most of its previous advantages; an image printed from a worn-out etching plate may be aesthetically inferior to a previously printed image than a good photographic reproduction. One thing that cannot be derived from this text is:. ['The fundamental difference between the original and the fake is the aesthetic superiority and uniqueness.', 'The pros and cons between the original and the fake are not necessarily clear-cut.', 'If an original is damaged, it may be far worse than a better preserved copy.', 'Good photographic reproductions are sometimes more valuable than images printed on etched plates.']
