What "A-P" Means
The handwritten A-P notation stands for Artist's Proof. Artist's proofs are a small group of impressions printed outside the standard numbered edition (in this case, outside the 1,000 standard copies) for the artist's personal approval, archive, or distribution. Because of their relative scarcity and direct connection to the artist's production process, AP prints often carry added interest and desirability for collectors compared to standard numbered prints.
