LENNON, John. BAG ONE PORTFOLIO. Bag Productions. 1970. First edition. A complete set of the Lennon lithographs. John Lennon produced the drawings for these lithographs as a wedding gift for Yoko Ono and as a celebration of their new marriage. Eight are erotic, intimate images of himself and Yoko and the rest show scenes from their honeymoon and wedding, including the ceremony itself and the Bed In. The lithographs were exhibited in January 1970 at the London Arts Gallery and were on sale at £40 each or £550 for the set. On the second day, the exhibition was raided by Scotland Yard, who confiscated the eight erotic lithographs on grounds of indecency. Anthony Fawcett’s 1976 biography of John Lennon, One Day At A Time, records that during the subsequent court case, “Detective-Inspector Patrick Luff, of the Central Office, New Scotland Yard, said that when he went to the gallery on January 15 about forty people were viewing the prints. ‘I saw no display of annoyance from the younger age group, but one gentleman was clearly annoyed,’ he said. Mr. St. John Harmsworth, the magistrate, asked: ‘Did he stamp his foot?’ ‘Anger was registered on his face,’ Inspector Luff replied. Mr. Napley, the defending lawyer, handed over a set of lithographs to the court with the comment: ‘I hope the officer will not mark them, because no doubt by the end of this case they will be worth more than five hundred and fifty pounds.’ The case was dismissed when the magistrate decided that John's prints were ‘unlikely to deprave or corrupt.’ Comprises a complete suite of lithographs, together with title-page and hand-numbered limitation page all housed in the original white vinyl bag. The bag has two white vinyl handles, a white vinyl buckle and a heavy duty zip closure. The vinyl is in remarkably good condition, though there is some rubbing and scuffing to the surface. Lined in navy blue watered silk (a little frayed at the bottom corners over the zip). The lithographs are protected by the original board portfolio with navy watered silk to spine (silk frayed at tips). The portfolio is held in the bag with two slender vinyl straps. The original vinyl luggage label is also present, although detached. All sheets are in fine condition, though there is some light and inoffensive browning to the edges of one or two. Sheets measure 30” x 23” and are printed on BFK Rivers. There are no tears, creases or marks and all are SIGNED by John Lennon in pencil (except the limitation page, which bears its limitation (94/300) but no signature, as called for). Two sheets have tape residue at the top of versos, but these are not evident from the front. Of the sixteen sheets, nine are artist’s proofs and are marked “A/P” in pencil. Five are 94/300 and one is 93/300 and another 105/300. The title page has “(C) 1970 copyright Bag Productions” in pen and ink to verso, as issued.
