To promote this year’s 40th anniversary picture sale, and to raise funds for the gallery, Mark Hearld has kindly produced a poster ‘Cat & Mouse’, inspired by the many depictions of cats in the gallery’s collection.
There are only 100 signed copies for sale. The poster is 54 x 38cm and unframed. Letterpress printed from the original linoblock at Tilley printing, established in 1870. Typeset by Martin Clark using original 19th century wood & metal type.
