City of York Poster
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This vintage poster was printed in 1971 in Germany, to celebrate another year of summer camp in England for their youth. This summer camp was dedicated to teaching young children the meaning of service and education. We can imagine the joy within the children when they got the news about summer camp being back in season. It is a heartwarming feeling to see art directed towards the growth of our youth. It has a classic block print style to it, and has aged nicely for the vintage look. It is sandwiched in plexiglass with a board supporting the back of it. This would look great inside of a library, school, or home. Dimensions: 27.5"H x 19.75"W We do local delivery close or in Los Angeles. Will calculate shipping...
