Limited Edition Prints

Limited edition prints are defined by a limited number of prints struck from one plate.
Usually, limited edition prints have a fixed quantity number, with the intention that once this number has been reached, there will be no more prints of the edition re-printed.
This fact of 'rarity' makes the limited print run more valuable than for example, mass produced prints, where their stocks are constantly being replenished.

Such companies as Nobrow, deal in the sale of special edition prints, as it is a big market in the world of art.
I myself have purchased a few limited edition prints, with one being from Nobrow itself.

Quite often, the print contains its unique number in the limited run, and is usually signed by the artist.

Limited edition prints usually go for much greater amounts of money, due to their rarity, as well as the process involved in creating them.

Another place in which limited edition print can be purchased, include the following.
