Yes that one, a great print but I'm not paying ebay prices for one so I will wait a little longer, you never know.

It might be a good time to buy a francis off ebay in the next month or so, they all seem to be for sale all of a sudden! I imagine once this little flurry is over they may start to creep up in price again!

I haven't bought a print from BRP or an Ian Francis print before; what is the quality like?

The first release had 4 editions of 25
The second (and of course this latest release) had 4 editions of 50.
I can't speak well enough of the quality of these prints, probably the best i've seen... also there's virtually no chance of damage in transit, they're all flat packed very securely!

Some people just don't get it. 12 prints with 3 successive sets from the same show/same style is not a good thing for the artist except it being a short term money grab. Add to the fact that with each successive set the images are getting weaker and weaker as surely the strongest prints were selected first...

imo these images are not weaker than the others - it is all relative to your tastes. You have 12 prints with 4 at 25 edition each, and the remaining at 50 edition each - thats 500 total prints. Some artists release this many in 1 print run alone...
if your experience with blk/mrkt has been so negative, i guess it just proves that you shouldnt purchase from them again - but i know i will be!

This is about the art and people being able to own the images they want. The artist should be judged on his work not how many prints are sold....25 prints or 500 prints doesn't change the artists work. If anyone thinks this will hurt IF and wants to sell his original, PM me.

Could someone please message me the answer! Pleassssssssseeeee...

Either they are limited editions or they are mass produced runs.
Either are fine with me but anything over 200 shouldn't in my opinion be classed as "limited editions". It's like Ford or Coke saying they have a limited edition product and then limiting them to say 100,000 or even a 1,000,000. Yes they are limited but they are hardly rare.
