CATWEAZLE - c.1970

Original LWT poster, 29.5" x 19"
Art by Martin Lambie-Nairn.

Amazing original (and rare) London Weekend Television promo poster for the wonderfully eccentric and hugely popular children's series. Shakespearean actor Geoffrey Bayldon (who twice turned down the role of 'Dr Who') played a time travelling 11th C. wizard, who mistakes all modern technology for powerful magic, particularly 'elec-trickery' (electricity) and the 'telling bone' (telephone).

£325.00 conservation framed.



ACAPULCO - 1973

Original Western Airlines poster, 25" x 39"

Stunning design that illustrates beautifully the early 70s as the last great (and still partly unexplored) era of poster design. Acapulco, a hideaway for Hollywood stars and the Jet Set, was still a glamour destination in the early 70s. The image refers to the famous cliff divers of La Quebrada Cliff. This poster is scarce.

£650.00 linen backed and conservation framed.

ROBERT CRUMB - KEEP ON TRUCKIN', early 1970s.

Vintage poster, 23"x35"

One of Crumb's most famous images was widely bootlegged after a limited run by Personality Posters in New York, but unlikely in a nicer form than this rich card stock silkscreen.
