At sunset a hunter and his dog rest on the crest of the highest hill around after a day in the lakes and marshes below. The man watches the distant waterfowl to judge where tomorrow’s hunting will be best. The panorama follows a winding road past a gas station, a bait shop and farms to a town with a water tower and a church steeple.4

Terry Redlin prints in general
The Redlin Art Center defines a limited edition as a reproduction that is signed and sequentially numbered by the artist. The signature is usually in one of the lower corners, beside a number that looks like a fraction: the print’s own number over the size of the edition.5
Many Redlin prints are open editions, and these are neither signed nor numbered. The art center describes the Encore and Encore II prints (image 18 × 10½ inches), the Elite prints (24 × 14 inches) and the Museum Canvas (39¾ × 23 inches) that way. Some of them come with a certificate of authenticity, so a certificate does not by itself make a print a limited edition.674
He stopped signing prints when he retired in June 2007. The holiday limited editions issued after that are numbered but not signed: Winter Wonderland in 2007 (2,007 prints) and The Sharing Season II in 2014 (2,014 prints). Each has a printed remarque in the lower left margin.8910
