John Lennon Signed Original Limited Edition Bag One “An Alphabet” Lithograph
An original, limited edition "Alphabet" lithograph from John Lennon’s 1969 Bag One collection. The lithograph has been signed by John Lennon in pencil on the bottom right corner and is numbered 192/300. The series of drawings was first published under the title Bag One and exhibited in January 1970 at the London Art Gallery. On its second day of viewing, the exhibition was closed by Scotland Yard and the lithographs were confiscated because of their highly intimate and erotic nature. The case was ultimately dismissed when the magistrate decided that John's prints were "unlikely to deprave or corrupt." Printed on BFK Rivers Paper.
The signature is extremely large measuring 15cm (6 inches) in length.
Dimensions: The lithograph measures 76cm x 58cm x (30 inches x 22.75 inches).
Condition: Very good.
Authentication: Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
