An artist's proof is the pulled print through which the artist and printmaker have collectively decided that the edition was "bon a' tirer" (ready to run). These proofs were the first to confirm the image and to green light the printing of the edition assuring its quality and value. For wine lovers, this is similar to "premier cru". As there are only five per edition here, they, like all artist proofs, are slightly more expensive.

I have always been moved by the presence of history as revealed by the monuments that succeeding  generations have seen fit to build to preserve our collective memory. They work on our conscience of responsibility. Heroic Age Pawn is, perhaps, a monument to common heroics rarely acknowledged.
