In 1984 Gannett Graphics with offices in Augusta, ME and Boston, MA, published this portfolio or Glossy Book entitled The Maine Collection featuring various Maine artists to help promote their business. The portfolio is very large 16.5" x 22" and well done with each artists work featured basically the same size (16x22) with perforation so the artwork could easily be removed and framed or whatever. There are some very nice works in the collection - we havent researched the artists but hope all are still around and had great careers. TWO of the works are missing or have been removed but there are still a total of 9 works within. On back of each work is artists contact info (no emails then!) and brief bio. Paper stock is 80 lb. (see pic for full description) and some pages with info from Gannett are printed on leaf paper. Again, all very hotsell nicely done. Not sure what happened to Gannett its been almost 40 yrs. - and not sure if related to Gannett Newspapers. The artist works still included in portfolio are:
Peter Ficksman
Joe Devenney
Betty Cole-Pinette
Jeffrey Stevenson
Ed Elvidge
Dick Durrance
Ed Holcomb
Kip Brundage
C.C. Church
Condition is excellent the prints could still be removed today and framed just like it was 1984. Zoom in on pics as part of description. This is obviously quite rare and unique. We ship fast and FREE within U.S. which will be costly as carrier rates continue to skyrocket. Contact us any questions and please follow our store as we seek rare and unique items.
