*Printers proof’s (PP) are generally considered a status symbol in the world of art collecting. Their resale value is proportionally higher than the numbered editions as they are only released once the full edition including artists proofs are sold out..

A Printer’s Proof (PP) is similar to an artist’s proof. They were originally designed to monitor the progress of printing. They are a print artist or printer receives as proof of their work. These copies are made in addition to the actual edition and are not intended for sale or included in the count of the edition. However, it is customary for the artist to release their PPs for sale in the event of a complete sale of the print run.

Instead of stating the number of the sheet within the edition, the printer’s proofs contain the note PP. The number of PPs in addition to the regular edition is up to the artist. Usually there are one or two PPs.

Artist's proofs maintain their collectability and value because A) They are a small subset of the edition, and B) they usually come directly from the artist or publishing house.

All hand embellished editions are small in number and vary from piece to piece with elements such as overdrawing, embellishment with inks and graphite, and gold leafing.  This means that each fine artwork is completely unique.  It ensures that each collector has a lasting acquisition.  Artwork consists of archival pigment inks printed onto 310 gsm cotton rag, hand embellished with graphite and gold leaf, signed and numbered.

A ‘Unique Edition’ is used to signify that each piece within the edition, while being the same imagery and format, is not identical as with a typical edition or print.
