Project Description
Created by our designers Ryan & Peter, this limited edition poster has been lovingly designed to celebrate 60 years since the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Only the second royal in history to achieve such a feat, we thought it only good and proper that we celebrate the occasion.The finished piece combines typographical techniques with delicate monochrome illustrations of true British icons. Each poster has been screen printed by hand in black ink onto 100% recycled, handmade paper and then stamped, signed and individually numbered.
Production Lesson(s)
Getting reacquainted with Screen Printing as an art form rather than a functional printing process was especially exciting for the team.
