How we number an edition
Why every size has its own edition, why you get the next number, and what happens to a returned print.
Small editions of photographs, signed and numbered by hand.
Every photograph here is printed in our studio on cotton paper, in editions that close for good. The counter on each print shows how many are left and which number comes next.
Hung at their largest sizes, to scale.

How an edition works
1/3
The number is fixed
Each size has its own edition, set before the first print is made. It never grows, and a closed edition is never reprinted in another size.
2/3
You get the next number
Prints are numbered in the order they are bought. The counter on each print page shows the number yours will carry.
3/3
Signed, with a certificate
The artist signs and numbers every print in pencil. A certificate with the same number travels with it.
