Glad to see the website retains all the charm & eccentricity of the original mail-order catalogs that my buddy Louise & I devoured at Uni.

This design came to us thanks, in the first instance, to an illustrated tribute rendered by our friend Maira Kalman in New York. Then, later in 2007, we stumbled across the design printed on tea towels, mugs and aprons in rural Victoria by Lark ... a business created by Allison Jones (CustOMER Since 1991).

We're also aware that a copy of the poster originally emerged at a place called Barter Books in Northumberland in the UK, and has been since cloned and reproduced by enterprising entrepreneurs from all corners of the world!

Here's the story of the design:

In 1939, on the eve of the declaration of war with Germany, the British Government's Ministry of Information commissioned a number of posters to be displayed throughout the country upon the outbreak of the inevitable war.

This poster, using the Crown of King George VI as the only graphic element, simply read "Keep Calm and Carry On."

The original designer's identity remains unknown. However, this faithful reproduction of the original poster is a tribute to the person who so cleverly captured the spirit of the moment.

So very British ... but universally re-assuring.

P.S: Design Also Available on T Shirts.

I bought one of these for work and suddenly find myself making more cups of tea than usual, just so I get to use it more :)

Every time I see this I instantly relax. Would love a small version to stick on my dashboard to help me deal with the kids on long trips.
