Alan Kitching, the celebrated British typographer and letterpress artist, founded The Typography Workshop in Clerkenwell, London, in 1989. The studio preserved thousands of rare wood and metal typefaces on vintage presses. From this “Aladdin’s cave,” Kitching created bold graphic images, murals, and limited-edition prints using traditional relief printing.

PLEASE NOTE: All the posters and prints we sell are out-of-print and original, and can sometimes show signs of wear consistent with age. Posters in particular are delicate items that can easily suffer the effects of time and handling. The grading of posters and prints has been kept as simple as possible. Their condition is ranked A to C, which include further sub-classifications of plus (+) and minus (-) in each case (e.g. A-, A, A+). Items are supplemented with a high-resolution image, and any specific/significant flaws highlighted. If in doubt, please contact me for further information.

Grade A: items are in excellent condition for their age. They are clean and display bright colour(s), show no sign of loss, and minimal creasing or other imperfections. Grade B: items are in good condition for their age. They are generally clean, yet may present minimal tears or loss, creasing folds and pin holes. Grade C: items are in poor condition for their age. They may suffer from soiling, fading or discolouration, in addition to more significant tears, loss, creasing.
