‘Open’ and ‘Limited’ editions
Limited Editions: Our leading prints are large format limited editions of the highest quality. They are designed to be a valuable and collectible fine art reproduction of some of the greatest moments in a pioneering period of the Tour de France, 1930,
Each print is approximately 58cm x 60cm and is individually numbered as an edition of 250 prints, titled and signed by Stephen Hodge. Each limited edition carries the Cycling History Collection embossment on the lower left corner and the Digital Art Directory embossment on the other side. Each is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity with additional details of the stage captured in the image.
Open Editions: An open edition is an affordable smaller print from the collection. Our open editions maintain a very high quality using archival inks and French watercolour paper made from cotton.

Framing
A unique framing solution used by Cycling History Collection is available for your limited-edition print. The frame molding used is typical of frame styles from the 1930’s which lends itself to this historic collection of the 1930 Tour de France and acts to focus attention on a window into cycling history. The framing cost is $450 in addition to the cost of the print.
Care, delivery and postage
We use clear archival wrapping around our fine art reproductions when we package them for posting. It is also suitable for storage and ensures your artwork is protected until it is framed. This protective layer should be left around your print until you take it to your framer.
Limited edition prints are sold and posted in special sturdy cardboard mailing tubes wrapped in the archival film with their Certificates of Authenticity.
Open edition prints are inserted into an archival plastic sleeve and mailed in a flat pack.
