It has taken a while to get a few prints pulled from this plate.
Thanks to Jim Blair of Wyoming, who is a very fine engraver and print maker. I am now in possession of a limited number of prints ( 8) that will be signed and available. I have only signed one as I am not sure exactly how one should do it correctly. The plate is 2 inches by 1 ½ inches, any advise on this subject is appreciated. Thank you and have a great New Years Day

I know nothing about what is expected, but that looks like a good signature (and a nice plate) to me.

Prints are usually signed below the actual printing in PENCIL and numbered with the print number followed by the edition size ie 14/500 or if it is not an edition you should put A/P which stands for artists proof, this just means it is NOT part of an edition.
