This is a special issue on British graphic design from the Second World War through to the 1970s. The main article is a revised version of an essay (originally published in 1972) by the sociologist Stuart Hall on the illustrated magazine Picture Post. Other topics include graphic design for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, and a history of Adprint (a pioneer of book-packaging in British publishing).
