If ever anything summed up that British "stiff upper lip", this Keep Calm And Carry On poster is it. This original World War II was discovered in a box of old books found in an attic, which came into the hands of the Barter Books store in Northumberland.
While the books weren’t great, they knew a gem of a poster when they saw one. A simple poster with a simple message – and one that’s just as applicable over 60 years on.
They had the original 60cm x 42 cm poster framed, then decided to reproduce it after much customer interest. So now you can buy one at £3.60, with postage at £1 in the UK, £2 overseas.
