The cover of Ken Garland's catalogue for Galt Toys' 1969/70 season has been made into a beautiful art print. You'll have to be quick to get one mind, as only 25 have been produced by Jonny Trunk of Trunk Records...

In what is, surprisingly, the first fine art print to be made of Garland's work, the charming 'Galy Tots' is for sale from the Trunk Records site and will also be available from Haji&White's stand at the Mid Century Modern show at Dulwich College, London this Sunday March 20.

Produced by Jonny Trunk, each of the 60 x 42cm giclée art prints is annotated and signed by Garland and priced at £200. They are available from the Trunk site, here. Garland's website is at kengarland.co.uk and an image of the original catalogue, produced by Ken Garland Associates in 1969, is here.

Very nice, just up the road from me.
A hardworking colleague of mine worked there and had much fun with such things as glow in the dark sand....

ken garland = a design hero of mine!

He gave a lecture during my design degree - I'm sure he said the Galt Toys honchos were really worried about this cover because they thought the logo wouldn't be recognisable; So as a concession, the comment inside the O was added.

Ironic, i thought, for the manufacturers of play things! :)
