BREATH OF FRIENDSHIP PRINT, BY PAUL CALLE, 1983, HAND-SIGNED AND NUMBERED, LIMITED EDITION, 28x24-1/2" OFFSET LITHOGRAPH, WITH A 22x19-1/2" IMAGE AREA, IN NEARLY PRISTINE MINT CONDITION AND WITH A FANCY "TORN" TOP EDGE, COMMON WITH A LOT OF EXPENSIVE, HAND-PRODUCED LITHOGRAPHS.
We have two different prints, each in very nearly Pristine Mint Condition with only very minor defects. Please be sure to specify which one you wish.
PRINT #036 (a very LOW Number!) HAS ONLY A BIT OF VERY LIGHT YELLOWISH AGE SPOTTING IN SOME OF THE BORDERS KEEP IT FROM BEING IN PERFECT CONDITION (SO LIGHT AND UNOBTRUSIVE, IT'S NOT EVEN VISIBLE IN THE PHOTOS).
PRINT #752 HAS SOME VERY MINOR DINGS-- A FEW IN THE BORDERS (which can be completely matted out) AND BEHIND THE IMAGE (which cannot be seen from the front). See Third and Fourth Photos.
ALSO INCLUDED IS A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL MILLPOND PRESS DESCRIPTIVE/BIOGRAPHY CARD (COA) AND ORIGINAL PURCHASE RECEIPT/PACKING LIST (SEE LAST PHOTOS).
PART OF THE MILLPOND PRESS SERIES OF WESTERN PRINTS-- MANY OF WHICH WE CARRY.
Purchased new from the distributor in 1983, at wholesale along with several others, never framed or displayed and stored in our darkened warehouse since, the print is still in nearly PRISTINE MINT condition, with Bright, Lustrous, completely UN-faded colors.
JUST COMPARE THE COLORS IN OUR PRINTS WITH THOSE OF THE COMPETITION!
NOTE: UNLIKE OTHER CALLE "GICLEES ON CANVAS" THAT WERE ISSUED DECADES LATER, THIS IS ONE OF THE MUCH SHARPER AND BRIGHTER, MUCH MORE VALUABLE ORIGINAL RELEASE PRINTS, HAND-SIGNED BY CALLE HIMSELF.
PLUS OURS, WHILE MAYBE PRICED A BIT HIGHER, HAVE NEVER BEEN FRAMED OR EXPOSED TO LIGHT, HAVING BEEN STORED IN OUR DARKENED WAREHOUSE THE ENTIRE TIME. SO, UNLIKE PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS, OURS ARE PRISTINE NEW, NEVER FRAMED OR DISPLAYED, PERFECTLY MINT CONDITION AND TOTALLY UN-FADED !
We stored the prints in steel map cases in our darkened warehouse, but stored the Print Folders and shipping boxes in our storage unit, which unfortunately caught fire and everything was destroyed. We do have authentic, original, Hand-Signed prints that were signed by the artist immediately after publication. We have also provided the Original Millpond Press Descriptive/Biography card ("COA"), which gives all the particulars of the print/artist, and a copy the Original Purchase Receipt, showing what we paid for the print decades ago -- to further authenticate the print. Furthermore, we have been in the business for over fifty (50) years-- and over forty (40) in the same Lansing, Michigan location-- with a sterling reputation of honesty, integrity, and customer service. Please feel free to check us out under our original, ongoing, business name: FAIRFAX PRINTS LTD. (don't forget the "Ltd" if searching).
