"Limited Edition" refers to the fact that there is only a certain amount, or "limited" number of serigraphs printed of a specific piece of artwork. After the edition is printed, all of the original artwork and screens used to make the print are destroyed or effaced. This ensures that no additional prints of this image will be made in the future. This is the opposite of an "Open Edition," where public demand determines the number of pieces included in an edition.

The limited life of the stencil prevents unlimited editions. Additionally, variables in the process of hand-pulling serigraphs mean that each individual serigraph is slightly different from each other serigraph in the edition. Minor deviations in color registration, paint distribution, and variations yield individual pieces that are truly "one-of-a-kind" or "original."

"Drawn by the Flame" was commissioned to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty located on Ellis Island, outside of New York, and its restoration which was dedicated on July 4th, 1986. The print hangs in the Department of Immigration. Also, the artist has included himself with the immigrants gathered at the base of the statue. The title symbolizes the throngs from around the world who came to America seeking liberty and opportunity, who were "Drawn by the Flame" of freedom. The New York skyline can be seen in the background.
