Complete set of 13 original lithographs of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, in addition to three cover pages, all of which are numbered and two of which are signed, each measuring approximately 23 x 30, presented in their original 23.25 x 30.25 hardcover portfolio, housed in the famous white, heavy-duty vinyl 32 x 35 Bag One folio carrying case, embossed with ‘Bag One’ and Lennon’s facsimile signature on one side. Some trivial corner creasing to the near-pristine lithographs, the expected wear to the case, and a few trivial adhesive remnants to the front cover of the portfolio, otherwise fine condition.
Limited to 300 sets, this set being No. 224, each lithograph was individually numbered and signed in pencil by Lennon. The exhibition of the photographs in New York and London caused quite a controversy due to the erotic nature of eight of the lithographs. In London, the lithographs on exhibition were confiscated by Scotland Yard on the charge that they were pornography rather than art. Lennon was later exonerated by the British courts, but many of the prints were mishandled and never returned. Over the years, as sets of the lithographs were broken up and sold individually, these folio bags would sporadically appear for sale.
