Guild Stamps
The Fine Art Trade Guild's stamp is a unique embossed stamp of limitation. First it gives you absolute confidence that the stated limit of the edition is ensured. Each copy in the edition bears a unique combination of three letters to the right of the symbol; this is a code, in which each letter represents a figure, so that every print can be seen to have its own individual number.
Secondly, it confirms that the print has been produced in accordance with the Guild's strict regulations, using high quality acid-free paper and fade resistant inks. By taking care that it is not exposed to direct sunlight or fluorescent light and protecting it from conditions of high humidity you can extend its life over a period of very many years
Thirdly it testifies to the fact that your print is a faithful reproduction of the original painting, approved by the artist.
