Paper Bag Haiku"

The
first of many broadsheets Gavin produced through
the now legendary Steam Press Foundry. Four of these
masterpiece examples of great typography disappeared
into the street with passers-by. One was sold for
£2.95 and the other is right here. Christebys
still maintain that this known surviving work is
still worth no more than a brown paper bag, but
perhaps would be worth more if it were full of sweets. |
