I picked up this beautiful original hardback poster (38cm * 25cm) promoting the 1964 Irish Export Fashion Fair at the Dublin Flea last month.

13 Jan 2016Yeah, I remember the old Jury’s being derelict for years in the 70s (like a lot of Dublin back then) and demolished about 1980. Ish. But the poster is really beautifully understated, less is more. It seems to sum up the optimism and growing confidence of that time, after all the “hopeless” years before. Lovely one for your collection, Doug.
