Mr Peel's Posters tells the story of the life and work of John Websdale Peel (1794 - 1859). Printer to the Establishment. Mr. Peel lived and worked in nineteenth-century London, where death was commonplace, and life for many was harsh.
From the 1820s Mr Peel's Printing Office supplied circuses, theatres, and places of entertainment with a wealth of posters and handbills. With their bright words and rich woodcuts, Mr Peel's Posters offered a world of fantasy and dreams.
A far cry from the nightmare that was London.
