Description

Original portfolio bag for the controversial ‘Bag One’

Uncommon white heavy-duty vinyl bag originally issued with Lennon’s famous lithograph suite, 34 x 25.5, printed on one side with a John Lennon facsimile signature and large black block letters, “Bag One.” Bag retains its original handles, zippers, closure buckle and straps, and luggage tag. Scattered soiling and some tarnishing to metal buckles, otherwise fine condition. This case once held a series of fourteen lithographs, the originals of which were given to Yoko Ono as a wedding gift to celebrate their marriage and subsequent honeymoon in Amsterdam. As sets of the ‘Bag One’ lithographs have been broken up and sold individually over the years, these folio bags have been separated from their original contents and sporadically appear for sale.
