More and more Keep Calm and Carry On posters – once considered among the great paper rarities from the Second World War – keep coming up at auction.
The latest example of this much-imitated 1939 design was offered at Swann Auction Galleries (25/20/12% buyer’s premium) of New York on August 2.
Although virtually identical in graphic terms, a number of sizes exist (a surviving order form from His Majesty’s Stationery Office shows that the poster was printed in 12 different sizes overall).
