Description
Screenprinted poster, "Blood Wedding" in an elaborate serif script in silver, beside a red rose with a drop of blood from one thorn. Below is "Written by F.G. Lorca, Directed by Yvonne Brewster, Rose Bruford production".
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.
