True Ghost Stories, by Lawrence Steven Faden, Amer., (b. 1942) FeaturedHand Colored Lithograph, 1981, Ed. 15 25, 10 x 14, signed, titled, numbered & dated in pencil, on white wove paper 16 1 8 x 20. I believe these lithographs were printed by George Miller, but have not located much biographical information on the artist. We currently have 3 lithographs, each a Memento Mori Day of Dead Carnival still life subjects with skulls and masks, of similar size, in editions of 25.
