A number of the Carl Barks lithographs released by Another Rainbow were published in rare so-called Progressive Proof sets.
These sets consist of sequentially numbered lithographs that show the order in which the individual colors have been applied in the lithographic production process. The final print of each set is a signed and numbered Gold Plate Edition lithograph. All sets are housed in a custom-made box featuring a gold embossing and title on the front. Only 5 Progressive Proof sets plus a few AP and PP editions were produced for each image.
All 5 Progressive Proof sets for an image are numbered “1 of 5” to indicate that they are all one of just five sets released for public sale.
The large photo shows the finalized gold plate edition print layered atop 4 of the color proofs included in the set.
This Blizzard Tonight Progressive Set is one of 3 currrently available at Disneyana+. Click here for more details.
The other two sets currently available are the very special Time Out For Fun Progressive Proof Set and the large Halloween in Duckburg Progressive Set
