Description

I am selling a high quality vintage art print.
This poster size stamp was printed in 1969 by Lou-Lair Publishing.
A limited amount were printed (under 1000) and no more will ever be made.
This is not the original stamp.  This is a POSTER SIZE recreation.
Each print has been stored for over 50 years in a temperature and humidity controlled environment and are as vivid and crisp as the day the were printed.
The prints are on the highest quality paper.  I have sold these prints to galleries and collectors and have had nothing but positive feedback from anyone who has ever seen this print.
From the original marketing material:
Every collector from the youngest to the oldest has always dreamed of having the famous C3, 1918 Air Mail inverted.  Now it is available as a wall piece 17" x 19" overall.  Printed in its original authentic colors, carmen and blue.  (From the original Lou-Lair Publishing marketing pamphlet.)
This beautiful print would look great framed on any stamp collectors wall.  The vibrant reds and blues and the interesting design make this a real conversation piece.  The story of the inverted Jenny is a great example of those lucky coincidences that collectors really love.
The provenance:
Printed in 1969, by my Grandfather Lawrence Hages, these Jenny reproductions have been in the family for years.  Lawrence, or Larry as he was known to most, was an artist and printer who made his living doing magazine art.  He also enjoyed dabbling in many hobbies including philately (the collection of stamps.) Please see the attached picture of the one of the original marketing pamphlets.  That is my father modeling the stamps!  I was given these Jenny prints after my Grandmother passed away a few years ago.  I think that now that these are in the light of day they should be displayed.  I would like to see these prints hung on the wall of design and stamp enthusiasts as my Grandfather intended.
This print is 17 inches by 19 inches.  This print has vivid color and was silk-screened onto high quality archival paper.
