The limited edition print, your call

Image
You saw a limited edition print and you fell in love, not so much with the image, but the notion of a limited edition thing... It's a one of a kind out of a run of a bunch of prints, signed by the artist, dated, numbered and you love the fact that you would own one out of the set. Ah the joy of having a special thing that is more than just a reproduction, it's a limited run of an image. There is something about the scarcity of owning something like this, something special, unique but not one of a kind, one of a set. The Artist liked the image so much they created more than just one, and now one of those is yours, congratulations! These days the Artist print can be more than an etching, lino cut, lithograph or screen print. It can be a digital image as well, which opens up a range of issues to explore for the canny print aficionado.
