The Mother Goose Collection: Six Limited Edition Prints

NY: Serigrafia Limited, 1990. Limited Edition Signed and Numbered 70 out of 300. Loose portfolio. Art prints and glassine folders are in Fine condition/Slip case show some wear in a few areas. Prints are all in Fine condition and all the glassine folders are present. The glassine folders show some negligible wear, very minor and each displays a poem that accompanies the artist's artwork; quite lovely and clearly a labor of love for the publisher to include these. Slip case condition appears to be sturdy, with some tape at the corners and some scuffing on the back.

Size: Double Elephant - over 25" - 50" tall.

A beautiful set. Scarce. Parrish Books guarantees all signatures as authentic.
