signed prints
Artist-marked limited editions
Signed prints are reproductions of artwork that bear the artist's handwritten signature, typically in pencil along the bottom margin.
The signature authenticates the print and usually increases its value over unsigned copies.
Limited edition prints often include numbering alongside the signature: a signed print numbered 45/200.
The practice distinguishes artist-approved reproductions from mass-produced posters.
