All the Patrick Nagel editions were printed two on on a sheet to be cut down later after the printing. Jeff Wasserman the Master Printer talked Karl Bornstein of Mirage Editions the publisher to keep a few of the un-cut sheets and have Patrick Nagel sign and number them. They were split equally between the Publisher and the Master Printer. Karl Bornstein sold his off very quickly, but the Master Printer never sold any of his. They were stored for years in his flat files at Wasserman Silkscreen Company, and it is only now thirty eight to forty three years after they were published, that the Master Printer has agreed to sell them. These double prints represent the rarest of the rarest in regards to the hand printed silkscreen prints of Patrick Nagel.This was the first print ever released by Mirage Editions, Inc. and the first print created in Nagel's lifetime. It includes an embossment of the flamingo in the white border. In the tradition of the great steamship posters of the 20's and 30's, Nagel's version of the famous A.M. Cassandre's poster of "L'Atlantique." This poster became the first of the limited edition posters printed by Mirage Gallery. Editions were: 800 signed in screen, 200 hand-signed and numbered, and four signed double set (uncut "ganged up" print from silkscreening process) signed by Nagel and held by the printers.
