Bonhams June 17th British Master Prints, by met on Jul 12, 2015 0:20:44 GMT 1, Dice - re Girl With Balloon - i believe they were all 50cm .. but not all by 70cm .. met ? nu ? care to add Sorry, I don't have a definitive answer. That's a question for Pest Control, if anyone fears their secondary market screenprint might have been trimmed by a previous owner without disclosure.
But given the size of the edition, it wouldn't surprise me if it was printed in batches at different times. Pictures On Walls may not have been consistent with the paper measurements (or, for that matter, even the specific type of paper used).
I've seen small variations, for example, with the contemporaneous print and similarly-large edition, Bomb Hugger / Bomb Love. They suggest the use of slightly different-coloured ink with different prints in the edition (as was the case with Morons (Sepia)), and perhaps also the printing of the edition having been completed with more than one set of screens.
Those who recall POW's release of Judgement Day by Antony Micallef at Santa's Ghetto in 2006 may remember this edition of 500 was divided between and printed on two different types of paper.

Bonhams June 17th British Master Prints, by Unica on Jul 12, 2015 12:53:47 GMT 1, So is the consensus that GWB came in two different sizes 50cm x 70cm and 50cm x 66 cm?
Is the larger version more sought after than the smaller? Size matters I would imagine. I see signed versions came in both sizes as Lionel Gallery have a signed version 50x70cm.
There is a clipped GWB signed version on Global Art Traders 36cm x 56cm for ยฃ37k if anyone is looking.

I think the consensus is that there is no consensus with sizing...
