A limited edition fine art print is a reproduction of an original painting, drawing, or collage that is limited to a specific number of editions. Here are some key points about limited edition prints:

1. Limited Quantity: Unlike open editions, where prints can be reproduced indefinitely, limited edition prints have a fixed number of copies. The artist decides how many prints will be part of the edition.

2. Hand-Signed and Numbered: Each print in a limited edition is hand-signed by the artist. Additionally, it is numbered to indicate its position within the edition (e.g., 1/100, 2/100, etc.). The lower the number, the more exclusive the print.

3. Quality and Authenticity: Limited edition prints are often produced using high-quality techniques such as etching, lithography, screen printing, or woodblock printing. Collectors appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail.

4. Collectible: Because of their limited availability, these prints are considered collectible. They hold value over time and are sought after by art enthusiasts and investors.

5. Certificate of Authenticity: Artists typically provide a certificate of authenticity with each limited edition print. This document verifies its origin, edition size, and the artist’s signature.
