The Story.
Lord Carrington in his garden in London. In his time Lord Carrington shook hands with almost every person of import on the world stage. His remarkable range of posts included First Lord of the Admiralty, British High Commissioner to Australia, Minister of Energy, Defence Secretary, Foreign Secretary, Secretary General of NATO and Chairman of the EC Peace Conference on Yugoslavia. His work in the private sector is no less impressive, and he received numerous honours from universities all over the world.
In the words of Henry Kissinger, “I have met many of the world’s leaders – none has impressed me more than Lord Carrington. He is a statesman who has performed with a grace and style that have all but vanished from our pedestrian age.”
All prints are all archival, meaning they will last for well over 75 years. Most of his prints are reproduced on Hahnemühle Fine Art photo paper, regarded as one of the best photographic papers in the world. The majority of prints are printed using Giclée printing which reproduces incredible detail and brilliant colour, and has a higher resolution than traditional lithographic printing. All Limited Edition prints come with a Certificate of Authentication stating the print title, edition number, date of printing and are signed by the artist and stamped with his photographer's seal. The print itself is also titled, numbered and signed in pencil by the artist. All prints come with a pair of print handling gloves and a “Handling & Framing Your Print” instruction sheet.
Print sizes are quoted as the edge to edge dimensions of the paper itself, including the border around the image. Borders will vary according to the image dimensions, but will typically be between 1 to 2 ½ inches.
Each print will have a strict limitation to its edition run, plus a maximum of 2APs (Artist Proofs) marked 1/AP and 2/AP.
