Hello again Ross,
Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you - I had a lot of trouble transferring images from my camera to the computer but all appears to be well now.
Anyway, the print appears to be one of those "posthumous" ones with no signature and the red stamp. It is one of three that we bought in a Singapore gallery back in 1982 and they all have pride-of-place in our home. Probably of the three, this would be my favourite.
Sorry, forgot to give you the dimensions. The printed image is 250 x 380mm.
I hope that it is of some interest to you.
Best regards,
Brad Jones
