The first is a poster created by the British government in the second world war, to be distributed in the event of a German invasion. They rightly assumed that this was such a powerful, profound statement that it should be saved until the darkest hour, when it could do the most good.
That day of course never came and the posers were forgotten, until a batch was found in 2000 in 'Barter Books' in Northumberland, and it rapidly developed into the British version of those Che Guevara prints.
The second is an awesome response to it from designer Olly Moss. I do so love him. He's opened a webshop, and is selling prints!
