We bought a batch of 1960s & 70s posters at auction recently. Amongst them was this little gem – well, big gem really!

It’s a whole set of vintage kitchen cards designed by Juliet Glynn Smith for Habitat. She illustrated their very first catalogue in 1966.

They were produced on a big sheet, but as you can see from the back, it looks like they were intended to be cut with a guillotine… then used as individual cards. We wonder how many survive as postcards – and how many still exist as one big sheet. We can’t find any other examples online at all, so we guess not many. Well worth sharing with our readers we thought!

The colours & illustrations are absolutely stunning – part medieval, part 1960s!

The full sheet measures 90cm x 60cm so makes an impressive display… here it is in all its glory!
