Description: In the 1980s, Tom of Finland (Touko Valio Laaksonen, Finnish, 1920-1991) selected a few of his best drawings to be reproduced as limited edition lithographs. In an effort to make these prints as indistinguishable from the original artwork as possible, the artist personally supervised the quality of their production and approved each by hand-signing and hand-numbering them in black ink. The offered lithograph "The Leather Brotherhood" was created in 1980 and is number 125 of a limited edition of 140. Having been archivally stored for more than four decades, this vintage art print is in flawless condition and hence an extremely rare find. Authenticity has been certified by Tom of Finland Foundation, Los Angeles.
