A plastic portfolio bag that was used to house John Lennon’s 1969 Bag One series of numbered lithographs, only 300 sets of these were made. Each lithograph was signed by John Lennon. The series of drawings was first published under the title Bag One and exhibited in January, 1970 at the London Art Gallery. On its second day of viewing, the exhibition was closed by Scotland Yard and the lithographs were confiscated because of their highly intimate and erotic nature. The case was ultimately dismissed when the magistrate decided that John's prints were ‘Unlikely to deprave or corrupt’. The portfolio still contains the original card inners which are normally removed and the original name tag is still present.

The portfolio measures 86.25cm x 63.5cm x (34 inches x 25 inches). There are numerous stains and marks over the front and back as well as some scuffing to the edges. The condition is very good minus.
