Product Overview
Keep Calm and Carry On is a hand pulled, fine art lithograph by S2 Art of the original poster by The British Ministry of Information.
The British Ministry of Information was formed in 1939 after the World War II began. The Ministry's job was "to create morale boosting posters" for display "on public transportation and shop windows." The Keep Calm poster was created after Germany invaded Britain. As a result, the public did not see the poster and only a handful survived.
The lithograph is pulled through a 19th century French Marinoni Voirin press on Rives BFK cotton paper.
This is not print or reproduction. It is a remastered, recreated, original work of art.
This piece was produced at S2 Editions Atelier, New York City under the guidance of the Ré Society, Ltd, and S2 Art company.
This lithograph bears the trademark of the Ré Society, plus the blind stamped emblem of the S2 Editions Atelier. The signature of the chromist is also printed unobtrusively on this lithograph in order to distinguish it from the original Golden Age poster.
The lithograph is sequentially numbered in pencil in the lower left border, by a curator at S2 Editions.
Comes with a certificate of authenticity by S2 Art Group, Ltd. Item is packaged and shipped in a museum quality tube.
Dimensions: 27" x 40"
