Hand signed and numbered Edition 237/350 Snoopy "A Kiss is Just a Kiss" Offered with a certificate of authenticity COAPrinted on heavy paper with publisher chop mark Measures approx. 18" x 14" (46 x 35.5 cm)very good condition (pristine), never framed,This artwork was created on a rare antique Marinoni Voirin lithograph press that dates to the 1800's. The press is reputed to come from the Paris, France print shop of artist Henri Toulouse-Loutrec. There are only known to be seven of these presses left in the world. The significance of these presses is that few operators exist that know the techniques to utilize them. In addition, few are willing to expend the hours necessary to make lithographs with these machines. The lithographs produced through use of these presses, however, are of the highest quality. Colors are hand mixed, one at a time. Skilled operators feed museum quality paper through the presses to set the colors and impressions. As a result of the time and skill used by the operators, the end product is an art image with maximum pigment saturation...meant to last over the years. This artwork is one of the final Tom Everhart editions to be printed using this very special technique!Please consider the Photo's of the actual Artwork as part of the description.Please note that there sometimes can be a slight color variation from Photo to actual art work Attention International Buyers: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.
