Key to Abbreviations:
All prints are signed and numbered in pencil; dimensions are of the actual image itself, not including signature or paper margins, given in inches, height before width.
a.p. = artist's proofs (where color experiments are made before edition is pulled)
b.p. = book proofs (pages from handprinted books that were never bound in and are now sold separately as signed prints)
o.p. = out-of-print
w.p. = working proofs (have serious flaws or odd color variations)

Key to Printing History Terms:
1. "Giclées" are super-quality, large-format archival reproductions (see information in How to Purchase Prints). All others are handprinted by the artist from original blocks.
2. "Multi-block reduction prints" are limited to one edition as blocks are destroyed in the printing process (see Technique page).
3. Editions: Second editions (II) of other multi-color prints involve recutting of color blocks and consequent variations in the final image. Some of the pre-Year 2000 single color prints have been issued in multiple small editions with touch-up recutting ("cleaning-up") of blocks, but no significant changes in the printed image. With the exception of "Wave", "Seaweed" and "Mt. Tam from Wolfe Grade", no more than 350 prints (total of all editions and a.p.s) have been issued of any print. Since Year 2000, all new multi-color prints are limited to one edition and single color prints are limited to two (II) editions.
4. "Blocks destroyed or cancelled" means there will be no more editions of the image as the blocks have been cut-up.
