NIUAFO'OU (TIN CAN ISLAND) (1991) Beetles*. Complete set of 4 monochrome proofs from the printer's archives. These types of proofs were sent between artist, designer and printer until the design was finalized. Only a limited number were produced and the final designs were placed with archival material. This is evidently a preliminary set, as the 42s and 57s images are switched! Scott Nos 140-3, Yvert Nos 140-3. Scarce!
AVAILABLE AT $200
