That seventies poster
.
.
One of the seventies best loved posters is on sale again. This time for a princely UK£300. This edition of the picture that soothed the early morning erections of many a student is available as a limited edition canvas print measuring 60cm x 80cm.
The photo was taken in 1976 by Martin Elliott and features 18-year-old Fiona Butler, his girlfriend at the time. Not, as many rumours have suggested, a male or transvestite.
My first thought was that they are hoping to sell it to exactly the same people that bought it 30-years ago but apparently it is something of a collectors item on e-bay. The edition is signed numbered and limited to a run of 1,850.
