A Large Original c.1968 Vintage London Transport Lithograph Poster by Joy Simpson for Local Museums sub-Rugs- Carpets & Textiles the hand painted canvas banner

the hand painted canvas banner measuring well over thirteen foot long reading in blood red circus block font script on a dirty buff ground

when the gesture of clasped hands was a symbol of pledging vows

The marked expression on the boys face as he grapples with his troublesome sock is one of utmost concentration

there is some very faint foxing in places but nothing that is not consummate with age

which are not produced in great numbers
