Fleet Street Lino Print by Stanley Donwood
The festive season is fast upon us, and as always, I feel it is my duty to call attention to typographic goodies that make good gifts for lovers of letters and all things related to the printing arts. If you are feeling very generous and want to really treat your loved one to something nice, may I suggest this beautiful linocut artwork from Stanley Donwood, famous for creating much of the iconic imagery associated with the band Radiohead. Of course the £750 price tag for this artwork is just a bit hefty, but as one who as actually seen this print in person, the quality is exceptional and is a beautiful piece for any art collector. However, if this number is out of your budget due to the credit crunch, there are other options if you would like to own a piece of this incredible imagery.
Besides the lino print, there is also a screen printed version for about half the price at £300. Or, if you are like me and completely skint at the moment, you can opt for the London Views Concertina Booklet for a mere £4.99. (I opted for the booklet at this time, thank you).
