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
