Description
Paddington Printshop was a graphic art and printmaking centre active in west London between 1975 and 1989. The Printshop worked collaboratively with members of local organisations and campaigns to create over 400 poster designs, and thousands of leaflets. The printshop was active in the 70's and 80's, producing posters on a wide range of political issues, including for educational purposes. The group was not-for-profit and used a variety of hand-printing techniques to create their posters. This is a large blue and black poster, titled 'Nuclear power, it's childs play." The poster shows a baby playing with a toy, which looks like a nuclear reactor. This is a screenprint and was created by John Phillips in 1979.
