There is text at the bottom saying that it is one of 50 reproductions of the original drawing, signed by both Sir Tom and the artist and _/50 in the bottom left, although mine isn't numbered it simply shows /50

Does it have an AP or A/P anywhere on it?

Using my phone, I could see the grain of the paper but nothing to really suggest there was any number there to begin with. The signatures had different levels of pressure so I'm sure enough that they aren't printed on and was definitely signed by someone

I would ask the seller why it isn't numbered, if one of 50, it has has to numbered, the Artist wouldn't leave that out, if it is a proof AP, A/P../50. Probably worth a bit more, usually proof prints are additional prints, test runs really, usually about 10% in a run, so the limited editions would be +5.

I would be a bit suspect Baluga, not sure this seller is the real deal, he is still selling the same print on ebay, not many people usually buy more than one of a limited edition unless they are dealers, plus he says the scan is poor, if you collect art you don't sell using a crap scan, and the image shows a definite, numbering, although difficult to work it out, but there are two figures either side of the dividing line or 'solidus', so the image displayed isn't of the one you bought.

He also says it is number 18/50.

Yeah, I only really linked that listing as it is the only picture of one I could find. There doesn't seem to be anything like AP on there either. If your interested, the artists signature is hard to read, but the second name seems to be Potter and it's dated to 2005. I'll have to email the NFM and see what they say about it

So you didn't buy from Ebay from the Arkwright bloke, then all should be well, if it is from the NFM. I thought that image was the one you bought, which is from the seller 'Arkwright' which is number 18.

I was getting confused as the image you showed was from ebay.

The AP's wouldn't be in possession of the NFM, they would be with the Artist.

Was it sold to you as a limited edition or as a print of a limited edition?
