First Great Western collaborative print - edition of 40, by ziggystardust on Nov 23, 2018 15:11:22 GMT 1, Thinking about selling my First Great Western print, numbered 16/40.
The edition of 40 included the signature of Nick Walker and some other unique features as I understand. No doubt members will be able to elaborate.
If interested, PM me

I thought the signed was from an edition of 100.
Mine is from an edition of 40?
Anyone know why?

First Great Western collaborative print - edition of 40, by Icesay on Nov 24, 2018 10:34:16 GMT 1, Think there were 2 versions. One version didn't have Nick Walkers signature and a smaller run (the bristol version) did. At least that's what I remember.

First Great Western collaborative print - edition of 40, by ziggystardust on Nov 24, 2018 10:35:36 GMT 1, I thought the NW unsigned was an edition of 200, and signed 100.
So where does the edition of 40 come in?

First Great Western collaborative print - edition of 40, by Icesay on Nov 24, 2018 13:59:27 GMT 1, First Great Weston...not Western it was to recognise Simon Weston and screen one print shop.
Remember the First Great Weston print from Let Them Hang? Well, both editions so far (hand finished and not hand finished but signed by Nick Waker) have sold out, but thereโs a special treat for people in Bristol.
A very limited run (40 copies) of the print has been put together, with some different colours and some new bits to spot, and signed by Paris, Eko, Mudwig, Sickboy, Dicy, China Mike, Mr Jago, Dicy, Mau Mau, Rich T, Will Barras, Nick Walker, Xenz, and Ziml

First Great Western collaborative print - edition of 40, by thebot on Nov 24, 2018 14:06:40 GMT 1, I think one edition was sold at a show in Selfridges, and the other was sold in Bristol in a pub. The two editions had differing signatures on them. Don't know if this helps

First Great Western collaborative print - edition of 40, by Forbidden Love on Nov 24, 2018 15:03:11 GMT 1, Ok so I can clarify the whole thing as I had bought the edition when it was released
The print design was done by China mike and signed by the artists mentioned above. Each one of the artists have their work in the image. Itโs great especially when you stand in the same spot where the illustration was based - where it all began!
So there is an edition of 200 signed by everyone except nick walker (at the time I think nick walker couldnโt logistically sign them in time before the release).
The edition of 200 was released at selfridges to which the first 50 came hand-finished by one of the artists. These were random and you didnโt know what you got until you opened the tube.
Then a bit later Let Them Hang released the edition of 40 which was released in Bristol. This print is slightly different, it has different colours and some different elements. Then these were signed by nick walker aswell as the previous artists.
Banksy gave the rights for them to use the image, he knew most if not all the artists from back in the day.
Still got mine and always loved it.

First Great Western collaborative print - edition of 40, by disappointed on Nov 24, 2018 15:13:45 GMT 1, Yeah, it's a very nice snapshot of the scene back then.
I won my copy in a Let Them Hang competition at the time of release, or thereabouts, so it's the original colour-way, un-numbered, but is signed by all (including Walker).

First Great Western collaborative print - edition of 40, by gtf on Nov 24, 2018 17:07:39 GMT 1, The edition of 200 has the signature of Nick Walker (at least my one does!). It is the same people who signed both and the only real difference on signatures I can see is a slightly different order and it is a Sickboy temple on the 200 as opposed to his signature on the 40.

This is not right. The ed of 200 were not signed by nick walker. If yours did then maybe it were one of the last ones to sell when Nick was around to sign. I can find the lil letter saying who they are signed by. Also I have sickboys full sig inc temple. Sickboy probably just changed his sig
