This print is an authentic Copyright Proof (C/P) by Marc Lagrange, bearing the artist’s signature and copyright stamp on the reverse. A Copyright Proof is a print produced outside the numbered edition, typically created to register or document the image for copyright purposes.

Although identical in image and quality to the numbered edition prints, a C/P is not assigned an edition number and was not originally intended for general sale. Such proofs are often retained by the artist or publisher as part of the official record of the work.

Because Copyright Proofs are issued in very limited quantities—often just one or two examples—they are considered both rare and significant within an artist’s printed oeuvre. This example, signed by Marc Lagrange and marked with his copyright stamp, represents a fully authorized and collectible impression from this sold-out edition.
