Authenticity & Provenance

An Authentic Limited Edition from 1986

We Are Not a Nation, So Much as a World is an authentic limited-edition Statue of Liberty fine-art print produced in 1986, the year of the Statue of Liberty Centennial.

The edition was limited to 450 prints, each individually numbered as part of the original edition. These are not modern reproductions created for The Liberty Edition.

After being preserved for nearly four decades, prints from this limited edition are now being made available to collectors through The Liberty Edition.

The Original Torch

The artwork features a distinctive view of the Statue of Liberty holding her original torch, photographed by Michael Kingsford.

Each print was produced on museum-quality, acid-free stock and finished with a hand-applied gold leaf border, giving every piece characteristics associated with its original production.

The artwork measures approximately 26 × 40 inches.

Limited to 450

Only 450 numbered prints were produced as part of this edition.

Letter of Authenticity (LOA)

Every print purchased through The Liberty Edition is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) documenting the artwork and its connection to the limited edition.

The Letter of Authenticity provides the purchaser with a permanent record accompanying the artwork and should be retained with the print.

Preserved for Nearly Four Decades

These prints were produced in 1986 and preserved for approximately four decades before being offered through The Liberty Edition.
