Description
Screenprinted poster, âPicket - Friday Feb 27 6-8pm Hammersmith hospitalâ. Above is an illustration of the end of a hospital bed with the board reading âno to private practice - no to cuts in the NHSâ. The poster has a red background with white text.
This poster was made by Paddington Printshop, a community graphic design and print workshop in West London, co-founded by John Phillips and Pippa Smith. Between 1975-1991, the centre printed over 400 designs for left-wing community organisations. These publicised local political campaigns such as housing rights and food co-ops, to social gatherings including play days, gardening clubs, gigs and festivals. Their do-it-yourself style was part of the proto-punk ethos.
