Catalogue Note

The quintessential sixties publication, 'David Bailey's box of pin-ups', is an exercise in irreverence. Designed to be literally 'pinned-up' on the wall, sets with the prints still in good condition are much prized.  Even better are those few sets that retain the piece of thick card printed with the instruction to throw it away.
