A printmaking collection notebook

An edition
has a story.

Keep a visual study, its edition number, and the notes around it on the same page. Make the small differences easy to revisit.

EXAMPLE
EDITION NUMBER
1 / 12

The edition number is a local demonstration, not an available print, authenticity record, or sales listing.

A note to keep.

Repeated wave lines give the imaginary tide its rhythm. The solid sun holds a quieter part of the composition.

NO REAL EDITION IS REGISTERED

Keep the image
and its context
in the same place.

A reference that stays readable.

A short collection label can connect an image with its working notes without turning the notebook into a mystery.

A record, not a verdict.

These fictional examples explore collection organization. They do not certify works, represent an artist’s portfolio, or provide printmaking instructions.
