Description
Screenprinted poster with red text on orange paper, "Kids fed up with their toys? Join the toy club for 12p a year" with a collection of small illustrations of toy blocks, teddy bears, a toy plane, and a doll.
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.
