Did Stephen Gayford produce limited edition prints?

Stephen Gayford limited edition prints formed a major part of his career and introduced his artwork to a wider audience, as he created original wildlife paintings, yet many people became familiar with his work through signed and numbered print editions. Collector listings show editions covering a broad range of wildlife subjects, such as lions, tigers, wolves, jaguars, elephants, zebras, meerkats and snow leopards all appeared in published releases. Edition sizes varied greatly, some prints were issued in runs of 300 copies, while others reached 975, 1,100, 1,250, 1,275 or even 4,950 copies.
