After restoring vintage posters for a number of years, it's often that they appear in the restorer's dreams. This usually involves some sort of hidden cache of priceless pieces, that just happen to be ripped into a myriad of pieces. But we can fix them! (Okay, half-dream... maybe half-nightmare.)
Well, we were struck by the real-life discovery of amazing posters from 1956 to 1959, found at the Notting Hill Gate Tube station in London. Uncovered in a bygone lift passageway, the poster time-capsule was shut off from the rest of the station when the lifts were replaced by escalators, and the passageway was abandoned. The pieces will be left intact within the station.
