From the people who gave us the likes of the Joy Division and Syd Barrett colouring books, not to mention the Prisoner and Bedazzled posters comes the Delia Derbyshire poster by Piper Gates Design.
Who is Delia Derbyshire you ask? Well, you're unlikely to know unless you are a Doctor Who or vintage electronica fan. She was a pioneer of the latter and best-known for her work as part of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, where she produced the famous Doctor Who theme, amongst other things.
This suitably '60s poster is limited to 45 copies, sized at 500mm x 700mm and printed on very high quality 194 gram paper, each one signed by the artist. £22.99 gets you one. See a shot of the poster on a wall over the page.

I think this design was based on one of the 60’s Penguin editions of the Len Deighton ‘Harry Palmer’ novels.(Maybe ‘Horse Under Water’).
John, I think you are right, however it might be us showing off. I think I better get a life or stop playing Trivial Pursuit.Delia is one of electronicas un-sung (pun intended) heroines, more should be known of her fantastic work…..
The Barking Lion……
The design is based on ‘Billion Dollar Brain’.
