Anyone know if the size of the print from the museum show 24x36 as listed or was it 21x33?

Unless someone beats me to it, I'll measure mine tomorrow evening and will post back.

Ok - got round to measuring...mine is approx 21" x 33". I bought it from the ebay seller at the time of the Bristol Museum exhibition (I think he was a museum employee or something, but it was a legit source).

Thanks for the info, much appreciated!

The original is to be auctioned at Sotheby's later this month. With the 'interesting' political climate in the UK at the moment, the timing of this is pretty on the button.

Wow thanks for posting. I didn't know it was going up for auction. It's also huge. Will be interesting to see what it goes for

Yep! This photo of the work on display at Sotheby's from the user kfroms (over at UAA) shows the scale quite nicely.

Here is an article about the differences in the piece compared to when it was shown in 2009 at the Bristol Museum:

I bought 2 sets of these lithos and i can not find them anywhere. Starting to think that I accidentally left them in a tube that I used to ship MBW lithos in, and the are all probably a los at this point. WIld to see what these $12 prints are selling for.
