Originals and Prints
A print is a reproduction. It is not the original. It's a copy.
To add to this answer, an original (for instance a painting) is the original piece that was created by the artist. A print (or lithograph) is a result of having the original photographed, or more likely now digitally scanned, and reproduced in mass quantity on a printing press resulting in multiple quality reproductions.
