Johnathon Davidson reading into a microphone. He is wearing a grey suit jacket and a blue shirt and he has short grey hair
Black and white photograph of Picasso and Éluard in conversation.
Pathé News Visits the Ace of Spades
A photograph of Phillip Gross. He is looking quizzical and has grey hair and a beard.
Airborne
An image taken from the book cover, Its shows a bit the the name Emily in yellow text and the first six letters of the word "unexhausted" in blue text. The background is shocking pink
Big white text on a black background. Parts of the words "The" and "Big" . Its striking if you like that monochrome block capitals kind of thing.
An old Russian Tank and the front of a US military plane in a museum in Korea
Three pamphlet covers arranged in a fan shape, one has a photograph of a river crossing sand to the sea, one has what looks like an abstract pattern of leaves in shades of brown and one is very pale green with block text in a kind of marbled pattern.
Paris at night in silhouette.
Montage showing three book covers. They are similar – each has a black background with a number of different coloured triangles superimposed. The chaps at Ignition press like triangles, I guess. Who am I to judge?
