Note: supplied with certificate of authenticity signed by the "Master Printer" and a replacement valuation certificate for £1500 (free of charge). Some examples of this edition have obtained over £2000 at previous auctions. Professionally framed in a beautiful very expensive English hand made frame and mounted to a high standard. The condition of the frame is superb for its age. The condition of the print is mint. Although Lowry once said "I only deal with poverty, always with gloom. You'll never see a joyous picture of mine. I never do a jolly picture". His portfolio does include festive works such as "Good Friday, Daisy Nook" and his paintings of football matches. Painted in 1946, Good Friday, Daisy Nook shows a crowd at the annual Easter fair at Daisy Nook, near Manchester. The scene is filled with post-war optimism and leisure, with children holding balloons and bright multicoloured tents dotting the background. When this cheerful painting was offered at Christie's in London on 8 June 2007, it soared past its high estimate of £1.5 million and set a new world auction record for Lowry at the time of £3.8 million..
