  REPLICA,  n.  A  reproduction  of  a  work  of  art,  by  the  artist  that  made 
  the  original.  It  is  so  called  to  distinguish  it  from  a  "copy,"  which 
  is  made  by  another  artist.  When  the  two  are  mae  with  equal  skill  the 
  replica  is  the  more  valuable,  for  it  is  supposed  to  be  more  beautiful 
  than  it  looks
