A Cyn Full Portfolio - Cynthia Lennon

Cynthia Lennon on John Lennon

Sorry for the pun in the main title!

Though this is not a book, it certainly represents Beatles-related print material. In the year 2000, Cynthia Lennon created this special box set portfolio of 4 signed prints she did of John as a gift to her son. I was able to obtain one from Ebay several years ago. The photos below are my set that I acquired. I was very happy to acquire this beautiful set for the collection.

Hope you will enjoy this post!!!

John Lennon: Limited edition box set.

In 2000, Cynthia Lennon, the 1st wife of John and mother of Julian, painted four portraits of John and gave them to Julian as a birthday gift on the 20th anniversary of John’s death in 1980. A production company in London contracted to produce a “limited edition” of these portraits in colour lithograph prints. The promotion never went through but there were 300 sets of these prints produced. This example is in near-mint condition.

The four-piece artwork set was printed by Napier Jones to Fine Art Trade Guild Standards
