Both the posted and frame are in fine condition. This poster was produced in 2001, honoring Earl "Fatha" Hines. The poster was restored and prepared for reproduction by Dennis Loren. 50 Pre-Press Proofs were prepared and signed by Loren along the bottom edge. This is one of those. These proofs rarely come to market since there were only 50 of them. This one says "1 of 50" but I don't know if that means this is #1 of 50, or if it means all of the proofs read "1 of 50." This is a beautiful, limited edition poster, professionally framed. Both the posted and frame are in fine condition. ; B&W Pho... View more info
