Piper Lithographs + Screenprints

Prince of Wales Investiture Poster / July 1, 1969
Privately published and sold by
the Fulham Gallery by Tom Adams , which not only gave first
exhibitions of some now famous artists, but was for several
years the center of the late '60's phenomenon - the poetry
print. This was produced by and signed by Cecil Day-Lewis (the
Poet Laureate) and artist Joseph Herman (1911-2000) and John
Piper (1903-1992) . The Colour off-set lithograph, on hand made
wove paper , signed by the poet, Cecil Day Lewis and both
artists in black pen and numbered from a total production of 150
. Size 48.3 x 73.7cm plus borders. Hermann specialised in Welsh
Miners and was a logical choice but as the 'Investiture' was
foisted onto the Welsh it did not sell in Wales . . .. people of
the valleys were not really in the market for (when new)
overpriced London posters.. .This is from a part of the original
150 all mint condition from long term storage with a very
minimal curve from being stored upright that will remove when
framed . £265 inc delivery worldwide

put them on their site at higher prices .. then buy them from
me) £265 inc delivery one available in store framed They
could be divided into the two prints if wished and are still the
cheapest signed Pipers or Hermans for miles !
