"In the 1970s, the Paddington Printshop – an Anarchist-run studio in west London – played a significant role in this history, supporting and promoting the hard work of squatters networks, feminist groups, anti-racist campaigns, and community events such as the burgeoning Notting Hill carnival." J.C. Wilson, 2019. *Due to the lack of a complete bibliography of the works of Paddington Printhop not all posters could be ascribed with certainty, but their similarity in style and subject matter has compelled us to include them in this lot.
