Where to buy

Books are easy to find at any bookseller. Prints and editions come from print dealers, museum shops and auctions. There is no single official print shop.

Professional insight

Print dealers check edition size and signature first. Then they trace past owners.

Signed and numbered sheets carry far more value.
Large maps and tapestries need specialist framing.
Gallery shop editions come with their own paperwork.
Ask for condition notes on margins and fading.

Check the label

Title and year of the work.
Medium: etching, woodcut, screenprint or ceramic.
Edition number, such as 12 of 68.
Pencil signature or a printed one.
Publisher or gallery that issued the edition.
Certificate or invoice naming the work.
Sheet size and framed size.
