King listing

By crownfolio | Published: February 28, 2012

All I seem to do at the moment on this blog is write about eBay.  In part this is because I’ve got my head thoroughly stuck into writing a book instead, and so there isn’t much mental bandwidth left for thinking about posters.  (A normal service will be resumed in due course, I promise).  But [...]

People, bishops and mumbly-jumbly latin scholars

By crownfolio | Published: February 14, 2012

A bonus extra today.  I almost lumped this little treasure in with yesterday’s eBay news, until I decided that it deserved a post all its own. Not that I have a huge amount to say other than this is rather wonderful. It is a portfolio of posters from about 1965, designed by Bob Gill (there’s [...]
