What Makes a 'Collectible Edition'?
At Delbert Lee Powers, our collectible editions are more than just prints; they are tangible pieces of art history. Each letterpress print is meticulously numbered and signed by the artist, ensuring its authenticity and place within a finite series. Once an edition sells out, it will never be printed again, preserving its exclusivity and potential for appreciation. We provide a Certificate of Authenticity with every limited edition piece, documenting its provenance and solidifying its value as a genuine work of fine press art.
Owning a collectible edition from our studio means investing in unique craftsmanship and becoming a custodian of a timeless tradition. These are not mass-produced items, but individual expressions of art, destined to be cherished for generations.
The Canvas: Paper & Ink
The integrity of our art prints begins with the foundation: the finest materials.
We select only premium papers, such as the luxurious Crane's Lettra, renowned for its soft, tactile texture and ideal receptive qualities for letterpress. Somerset Velvet, with its subtle tooth and archival purity, is another favored choice, lending a sophisticated depth to every impression. These papers are 100% cotton, acid-free, and designed to stand the test of time, ensuring your artwork remains vibrant and pristine for decades to come.
Our inks are equally chosen for their archival stability and rich pigmentation. Each color is carefully mixed and applied, sinking beautifully into the paper fibers to create that signature letterpress depth and texture. This commitment to superior materials guarantees that your collectible edition is not just beautiful today, but a lasting legacy of artisanal quality.
