1939 Keep Calm and Carry On Original Vintage Poster

About the Item

One of the most iconic and important poster designs in British history, the instantly recognisable "Keep Calm and Carry On" was designed by the Ministry of Information in 1939. The posters were secretly produced whilst Britain was under threat of invasion during World War II. The slogan and design have been much imitated, however only a small handful of the original posters are known to still exist. A truly wonderful piece of design and world history and in fantastic mint condition.
