Jimmy Page and each photographer have worked closely together with the dark room technicians and printer to produce this highly-collectible collection."

The photos will be limited to 50 prints each. Each photo is numbered and signed by both Page and the photographer. The prints are currently available individually or as a Deluxe Portfolio boxset. Only 10 Deluxe Portfolio boxsets have been produced.
