The first edition is of 345 signed and numbered copies. The twin edition of 100 lithographs is stamped with a gold seal displaying Donald and the words "Gold Plate Edition;' In addition it has a three dimensionally debossed ¼” gold band surroun­ding the 18" x 22 ½” image area. The paper size is 23 ¼” x 27".
Opalesque is a newly registered archival-quality paper constructed of 100% cot­ton fiber for strength and longevity that is coated with an enhancing mother-of-pearl silken finish. It has exceptional ink holdout for quality and consistency in color reproduction, is acid free to resist aging and has alkaline buffering to counteract the effects of acids normally present in the environment. If this print is framed or stored under conditions that avoid dust, insects, direct sunlight and extremes in heat, cold and humidity, it will resist fading or yellowing for hundreds of years.
This historic limited edition lithograph has had no previous editions and there will be none in the future. There are no unsigned or unnumbered copies. All printing plates have been permanently scarred to prevent future use and are being kept for historical purposes at the Walt Disney Archives.
“A 1934 Belchfire Runabout!" is the fourth Carl Barks lithograph produced by Another Rainbow Publishing. It was printed by The Black Box, continuous-tone lithographers, of Chicago.
