Each photographer sets his or her own edition numbers which are recorded with each print that is made, with the next available number being assigned to the next print. This is how many actual photographs are produced, so if an edition is only 50, then only 50 prints will be printed. Once an edition reaches the end, no more are printed. Due to this, prints increase in value as a limited edition finishes. All prints are made with a border to accommodate the signature on the right-hand side below the actual image, with the edition number on the left-hand side.
Every photograph will be hand-signed by the photographer, unless of course, they’re no longer with us. In that case, an official estate stamp is used. This stamp is either embossed or printed where the signature would normally be and is issued with the estate’s authority to authenticate the print. We print to order, so whether you order a print online or from our Austin gallery, we guarantee that your new print is just that, unless you buy a framed piece from the walls of the gallery, in which case all of our framing is fully archival with UV protection. This is something that we highly recommend when framing photography, we will gladly answer any questions you have about care for your print and how to frame them accordingly.
