Cleaning copper book plate prints 150 years old or so?

I recently obtained a book ca. 1840 containing several dozen copper plate prints. The condition varies, with some of the prints having stains. I want to keep a few for my collection and clean them but was quoted $40-$50 each by a restorer, which is a budget buster on these prints. Anyone have any success in the past with similar items?
