1980s/90s Classic Poster postcard set
1980s/90s Classic Poster postcard set - eight designs printed on postcards.
The 1980s and 90s in the UK were the time of Thatcher, mass unemployment, the Printers and Miners Strikes, and Poll Tax Rebellion.
Culturally, supported by a benefits system that allowed creative talent to bloom (and cheap transport), there was an explosion of music, alternative comedy, cooperatives and community theatre.
Campaigns around the Miners Strike and the opposition to the Poll Tax in particular drove a spirit of solidarity and class consciousness throughout communities across the country.
Concurrently, new technologies, for example the launch of the first AppleMac, with its 6 inch screen and Pagemaker software, enabled a new method of design in posters and campaigning posters burgeoned.
We have reproduced some of those posters - posters we saw on many peoples' walls at the time, and included a selection of eight in this postcard set.
The Radical Poster Collective is dedicated to making good quality classic radical posters available at an affordable price.
The images on our postcards are either digitally cleaned up to remove tears or stains etc, or completely recreated to be as close as possible to the original.
There are eight designs in each postcard set.
The postcards are A6 size (approximately 105mm by 149mm), printed on 350g postcard card.
Please note that there may be some variation in the colour of the on-screen image and the actual item received. This is subject to the brightness and contrast of your screen settings etc.
For non-UK orders, any customs duties are to be paid by the buyer.
