The entire tirage outstanding for the Divine Comedy is 8534 sets per the Field and Michler/Lopsinger Catalog Raisonnes. This specific edition of 150 is from the edition in which contracts were made with Salvador Dali who agreed to hand sign them in the 1960's. The exact amount of hand signed divine comedy prints is unknown. However, this edition of 150 is verifiable and cataloged by Field and Michler and Lopsinger. Dali signed these rare hand signed prints in three colored crayons: Blue for Heaven, Purple for Purgatory, and Red for Hell. One must be very cautious with the purchase of hand signed Divine Comedy woodcuts. There are many forgeries which exist in the marketplace. Experts can make a determination by the exact type of crayon that was used on the print, the degradation of the paper and crayon from exposure to radiation and other elements, the style of the signature from the period, and from certificates of authenticity from the period and from recognized experts. The publishers of the edition were the Collector's Guild and Editions Orangerie-Reinz. The paper size is 10 1/4 x 13 inches. The condition is very good. This artwork has a good, clean image with sharp and strong inking. This artwork is being sold framed with a solid hardwood frame that is in very good condition. The provenance is from Palatine, Illinois, USA. Thank you for your business, Regards, Laurent Ashton
