creating museum portfolios: what info to include?

[chris jordan]

Hi guys, here's a question for those who have some experience with museum portfolios. I'm going to release my Midway images as a series of 16x20 portfolios, (instead of offering individual prints) and I'm trying to come up with the info/language to stamp on the back of each print. There's the obvious stuff like edition #, date, etc., but I'm wondering what other kinds of info people have included in the past. Maybe a sentence like "This print is part of a portfolio that is not intended to be broken apart" or something like that? Or a sentence about provenance, such as "this portfolio was originally owned by _________" or whatever?

Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas that worked, or didn't, etc., would be much appreciated.

With best regards to all,
