Description :

Original TIA Portfolio for Seattle, issued October 1981, containing a coordinated set of limited-edition prints created for a regional promotional and design initiative (indulging photography by Christian Staub). The portfolio showcases early‑1980s Seattle through strong graphic composition, architectural studies, and city‑identity imagery produced by multiple contributing photographers and designers.

These prints were developed as part of a professional presentation portfolio and were not commercially distributed, making surviving sets uncommon. The imagery reflects Seattle’s cultural and urban landscape at the start of the decade, with clean typography, bold color fields, and period‑specific visual style.

Year: 1981 Title: TIA Portfolio for Seattle Issued: October 1981 Medium: Limited edition prints Contents: Multiple coordinated prints from the original portfolio (see photos for included works) Condition: Very good overall. Prints show light handling consistent with age; no major creases, tears, or moisture exposure noted.

Notes: Unframed prints. Portfolio sleeve or folder may show expected shelf wear. A strong example of early‑1980s Seattle graphic identity and a desirable set for collectors of regional design, advertising history, and Pacific Northwest visual culture.



Dimensions : 19 in L x 12.5 in W
