(An edition is either 5 or 15 or 25 or 100 etc. pieces of all the same. It (in other

words the artist makes prints of the same work several times and then writes the

number on the work. The artist writes the total number of how many prints

he did on the bottom and the number of the one he printed in the order of

how he signed them in the order on the top.)

collector and it would look like 25/25

Note:

The first one would also be more valuable and it looks like 1/15 1/50 1/100 etc.

The last would look like 50/50 100/100 40/40 25/50 1/200 200/200
