Relatively few of the original 1250 Windows survive but thanks to a Nottingham professor, a world-class collection of 129 are held in the University of Nottingham's historic collections. The posters are now fragile but their colours still vibrant: digital reproduction techniques have made possible this rare exhibition, the first from the Nottingham collection. more >
The exhibition will be supplimented by a Lunchtime talk and a Study Day.
The exhibition is part of the CRCEES Winter Festival.
