WHAT IS A LIMITED EDITION PRINT?
A Limited Edition Print is one of a set number of prints of the same image, in the
same size and the same print process. Each print is signed and numbered and once
the edition has sold out no further prints will be available.

|
WHAT ARE ARTIST'S PROOFS?
Artist's proofs are a set number of prints over and above the numbered prints in
the edition. They are often for the artist to use for exhibitions or personal gifts.
They are unlikely to be released for sale but are included in the edition so that
you know exactly how many prints there are in existence eg. Limited Edition of 25
with 5 artist's proofs.

|
HOW DOES THE PRINT NUMBERING WORK?
The 25 prints in each edition are numbered from 1/25 to 25/25 and artist's proof 1/5 to 5/5. The first 3 prints numbered 1/25 to 3/25 of all editions in Anne's Limited Edition Print collection are held in a private collection.
Each edition of 25 prints is split into 4 brackets for the purposes of pricing.
Bracket 1 contains 7 prints numbered 4/25 to 10/25. Bracket 2 contains 5 prints numbered 11/25 to 15/25. Bracket 3 contains 5 prints numbered 16/25 to 20/25 and the 4th bracket contains the last 4 prints in the edition, numbered 21/25 to 25/25. As each bracket sells out, then the following bracket becomes open for sale, except for last bracket which will not be made available until further notice.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ICONIC, PREMIUM AND CLASSIC PORTFOLIOS?
Anne has created three portfolios within the Limited Edition Print collection:
the Iconic Portfolio, the Premium Portfolio and the Classic Portfolio.
The Iconic portfolio contains a selection of some of the most recognizable,
and therefore essentially iconic, Anne Geddes images known throughout the world.
The Premium portfolio includes a selection of Anne's favorite images to release as Limited Edition Prints.
The Classic portfolio contains a range of individually selected images from Anne’s
repertoire, added to the Limited Edition Print collection. Though they have been
categorized in this way to reflect their significance their prices have been determined on
an individual basis.

HOW ARE ANNE'S LIMITED EDITION PRINTS RELEASED?
As each edition is unveiled, the available prints up to and including #15/25 will
be released for purchase. These prints are priced in two brackets, so the earlier
a purchase is made, the more cost-effective the investment. The next 5 prints in
the edition (#16/25 – #20/25) will not be made available for purchase until #15/25
has sold and will not be priced until the lead-up to their release. Please note
that the last 5 prints in each edition (#21/25 – #25/25) will not be made available
until further notice.

WHAT IF I MISS OUT ON THE FIRST RELEASE?
The earlier a purchase is made, the more cost-effective the investment. If you miss
out on the first Limited Edition Prints released your payment will not be processed
and you will be alerted via email of your placement in the priority queue. Once
the price of the next 5 prints (#16/25 – #20/25), has been confirmed, you will be
given the first option to continue your purchase within this next pricing bracket,
24 hours before it is released to the public. Please note that once #20/25 has been
sold, prints #21/25 – #25/25 will not be made available until further notice.

WHAT OTHER ANNE GEDDES IMAGES WILL BE AVAILABLE AS LIMITED EDITION PRINTS?

most recognizable, images known throughout the world, the Premium portfolio; which includes
some of Anne’s favorite images, and the Classic portfolio which includes a range of
individually selected images from Anne’s repertoire, added to the Limited Edition Print

WHERE CAN I HANG MY LIMITED EDITION PRINT?
A Limited Edition Print needs to be hung in a location that avoids direct sunlight,
strong fumes, fluctuating temperatures and high humidity. Our recommended hanging
conditions are between 30%-40% relative humidity (without fluctuating more than
5% a day) with a temperature range between 65-70 degrees (daily fluctuations greater
than 5 degrees should be avoided).

WHAT IS THE PRICE OF ANNE'S LIMITED EDITION PRINTS?
The value of each print in this collection has been determined on an individual basis, taking
into consideration a range of creative and technical factors. The price of each print reflects,
the category chosen by Anne and their value as a Limited Edition fine art print. The meticulous
nature of the printing process makes each of these prints exceptionally unique and so they are
priced accordingly. All prices are in USD with framing, packaging and delivery to your door,
free of charge. For further info check our Pricing page.

|
WHY DOES THE PRICE CHANGE WITHIN AN EDITION?
Fine art limited edition collecting is a financial investment. As the prints in each edition sell out, then the value of the remaining prints increases. Each edition of 25 prints is split into 4 pricing brackets. Each bracket increases in value as fewer prints remain available.

WHAT SIZE ARE THE LIMITED EDITION PRINTS?
Each image size varies within the dimensions of the frame, dependent on Anne's artistic
intent. Every print in Anne's Limited Edition Print collection has a consistent
external measurement of 803mm x 695mm x 20mm in its final framed state. For your
reference, the image size and framed print size are listed below the image on this
official Limited Edition Print website.

HAVE THE PRINTS BEEN SIGNED?
Yes. Anne's black and white (silver gelatin) Limited Edition Prints have
been signed by Anne in pencil on the back of the print where she has also written the title,
edition number, date it was photographed, date it was printed, print process, and toning process.
As the back of the print cannot be seen once it's been framed, the signing on every print has
been photographed and a print of that photograph is included in the Information folder
accompanying your print.
The color prints (archival digital inkjet) are signed, titled and numbered on the front of the print and are therefore
visible once the print has been framed.
|
|
x |
|
WHY ARE ANNE'S LIMITED EDITION PRINTS SIGNED ON THE BACK OF THE PRINT?
It is accepted practice in the art world, for photographers to sign their prints
on the back. The photographic paper that Anne uses for her black and white silver gelatin prints
is best suited to be signed on the back as the front surface is glossy.
|
|
x |
|
WHAT ARE LIMITED EDITION PRINTS PRINTED ON?
Anne’s black and white Limited Edition Prints are silver gelatin, printed on optimum
quality fiber-based photographic paper.
The color images are archival digital inkjet prints, printed on museum quality 100% cotton rag paper.

|
WHAT IS A VINTAGE PRINT?
A Limited Edition Print that has been printed within a year of the image being photographed is referred to as a vintage print.
For art collectors vintage prints are often sought after as they are considered to be the closest representation of the photographer’s original vision
of the image at the time the photograph was taken.
