Your image is not your print.
Manage editions, print variants and the history of every physical copy.
One photograph can exist through different sizes, materials, editions and individual prints. PYLOS keeps them connected — from the original work to the physical object in the world.

One image. Many physical lives.
The same photograph may be produced at different sizes, on different materials or within different editions. Those relationships matter.

Every copy carries its marks.
The edition number, the signature, the pencil marks — each belongs to one physical object, not to the image.
03 / 15 is not a quantity.
It is a physical object.
It can be printed on a particular date. Signed. Exhibited.
Consigned to a gallery. Sold to one collector. Held by another party.
Stored somewhere else. Loaned years later.
Its edition number is only the beginning of its history.

Ownership is not location.
A print can belong to a collector, be held by a gallery and physically sit at an art fair in another city. PYLOS keeps those realities separate — and connected.

The image may be reproduced.
The history belongs to the individual object.
Size changes. The work stays connected.
PYLOS keeps each production variant connected to the same work while preserving the identity of every individual print.

A spreadsheet can store rows.
PYLOS keeps the relationships between them.
Rows are easy. Relationships become harder to maintain as a physical archive grows.
