A poster promoting punk rock band The Sex Pistols' compilation album "Flogging a Dead Horse" released in 1980 after the band broke up. This artwork was designed by British artist Jamie Reid, who collaborated with The Sex Pistols several times and often incorporated anarchist themes into his designs. This was Reid's second design for the record, with his first consisting of the title drawn over the band's first two album covers, which Virgin rejected. Reid found an image of a model from the cheapest agency he could find and used rope Letraset lettering to make the album intentionally look tacky. The lot displays light creasing and small tears around its edges. Dimensions: 100 cm x 69.75 cm (39.25" x 27.5")

Estimate: £250 - 500 Ω
