We have previously mentioned Kevin Cummins’ postcards celebrating the music of Manchester and Liverpool, but even more of a treat is his Joy Division Postcard Box Set.
Cummins is viewed by many as the definitive chronicler of the Manchester music scene, beginning his career at around the time that Joy Division started. This special edition box set features 20 of his iconic Joy Division images, reproduced as postcards and presented in hand finished box. Appropriately, the set was made in Manchester.
