About the artist
Born in London in 1936, Caulfield studied at Chelsea School of Art, continuing at The Royal College of Art (1960-63), where fellow students included David Hockney and Peter Blake. Through his participation in the New Generation exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery, London in 1964, he became associated with pop art, though Caulfield disliked being identified with any art movement. His paintings of the 1960s shared pop art’s interest in everyday life, but owed more to artists such as Juan Gris and Fernand Léger than Andy Warhol or Roy Lichtenstein. He was less interested in mass-consumerism and advertising than in exploring modern ways of painting traditional genres, such as still life and interiors. Rather than painting popular culture, Caulfield endowed the everyday with an atmosphere that was remote, alien and mysterious.

About the Kelpra Studio and the Prater Gift
The Prater Gift, the majority of which was presented in 1975, was one of the founding gifts of Tate's modern print collection, alongside the Curwen Studio Gift. In the late 1950s Rose and Chris Prater established Kelpra Studio, a print workshop dedicated to the comparatively modern technique of screenprinting. Kelpra Studio was pivotal in the development of the medium throughout the 1960s and 1970s, introducing many artists, British and foreign, to the artistic possibilities of screenprinting. The Praters generously gave Tate a copy of every print that they produced. Among the artists who worked at Kelpra Studio were Richard Hamilton, Eduardo Paolozzi, Patrick Caulfield and Peter Blake.

Original vintage lithographic poster for an exhibition of Picasso's work in 1955. Edition of 1500.

This stunning vintage poster gives you the opportunity to own a rare piece of art history.

For several decades now, vintage lithographic posters have become collectible works of art in their own right. With little in common with offset or digital reproductions, their place in art history is well established and documented

Artists such as Picasso were intimately involved in the production of these works. Conceived as announcements for exhibitions, ads for tourism and as illustrations for political events, these works were often the creations that had the broadest audience. Twentieth century artists were quite aware of this fact and therefore spent much energy and time on their design and quality.

These images could be found throughout the city streets of Europe, on the windows of shops and cafés and on bulletin boards of schools and community centers. Their life span was usually short as they were often destroyed and discarded when replaced by the next poster.

Starting in the 1920's, the Atelier Mourlot was the largest and best known print shop to manufacture these lithographic works and over the years. A selection of the surviving orignal posters are now available in Tate Online Shop.

A limited edition print of Edward Bawden's Covent Garden Flower Market (1967).

The original coloured lithograph from linocut print formed one in the series 'Six London Markets', and was first published by Curwen Prints in 1967. The artwork depicts London's famous Covent Garden Flower Market with its neo-classical architecture in Bawden's distinctive style.

Woodcut 1918; original size: 22.2 x 20.3cm.

British merchantmen were camouflaged to deter the abilities of German u-boat gunners to ascertain their speed and course, but the action of the sea and salt of the Atlantic Ocean was so corrosive that they had to be re-painted every four to six months.

As per the description for the companion print Liverpool Shipping, this striking image is in some ways an inaccurate portrayal because dazzle was in fact applied in many colours. In these prints, however, Wadsworth reduces forms to their most essential, and replaces colour with a bold black and white. And by so doing Wadsworth creates two of the most optically powerful woodcut prints to derive from the First World War.

A limited edition print of Edward Bawden's Palace of Westminster (1966).

The original colour linocut was one in the series 'Nine London Monuments' commissioned by Editions Alecto in 1966. The Palace of Westminster (the dramatic building consisting of the two Houses of Parliament) was designed by Sir Charles Barry (1795-1860) and Augustus Welby Pugin (1812-52). Bawden perfectly captures the magnificence of the fa‡ade, and a lamp, perhaps symbolic of illumined debate, is centrally positioned within the print.

A limited edition giclee print of Peter Lanyon's Underground.

The original of this Peter Lanyon print (and its companion, In the Trees) was created in a studio above the Leach Pottery in St. Ives, Cornwall. Warren Mackenzie at the time was a visiting American student potter and worked on the print with Lanyon. It has all the characteristics of one of Mackenzie's much collected pots: there is an appealing earthiness to the colours, and the central black lines are reminiscent of kanji (Japanese script) and perhaps echo the influence that Japan had on Mackenzie's teacher, Bernard Leach.

Dramatic limited edition print of Cyril Power's notable linocut The Merry-Go-Round (1931) originally printed from two colour blocks: Chinese Orange and Chrome Orange mixed, and Chinese Blue.

The geometry in this print delightfully spins the viewer around as much as it does the riders. Power found inspiration for these forms by a visit to Wembley Exhibition Fun Fair c.1930.

Power perfectly captures that sense of disengagement, almost an obligatory persona, adopted by all tube train travellers. Yet each of these figures is also particularised: there's the typist (perhaps) in her short skirt; the besuited city gent perusing the financial pages; the lipstick-painted lady in her new blue hat. And there's a nice exception to that adopted disengagement: a pretty young woman seated to the right of the picture communicates open-eyed at us, the viewer, and makes us a participant and an engaged fellow traveller.

Gicl‚e Print, Limited Edition (1/950) on 310 gsm thick, 100% cotton rag. Hand-numbered and hand-embossed.

The original image was printed from 2 blocks: venetian red and viridian but printed again, in reverse, using the same blocks but with orange and blue. Quite possibly this was limited to only one impression, but Power here manages to capture that instance in a relay race when one team is far enough ahead of the other as to seem, when viewed from the side, to be running in the opposite direction.

Woodcut 1918; original size 19.9 x 25.8cm.

South Docks, Liverpool still extant and recognizable from this print, but during the war it was here that dazzle ships were painted. British merchantmen were camouflaged, not to make them invisible, but so that German u-boat torpedo gunners would find it harder to determine their course and speed, and so would not be able to sink as many as they had been doing.

This strikingly bold print see also Drydocked for Painting and Scaling, its companion print - is in some ways an inaccurate portrayal because dazzle was in fact applied in shades of grey, blue, white, green and pink. But here Wadsworth not only excludes these colours, he excises all extraneous detail. In these brilliant renditions, then, the forms are stronger and starker, and the tones are condensed to an optically more powerful black and white.

Colour linocut (1958 first edition). Unusually for Bawden a second edition of this print was done in 1970: the two are subtly different, particularly in colouring, but the word 'Palace' in the second is in white (and not black as it is here). The image is flanked on the one side by the frivolity of the domes of the Royal Pavilion, and on the other by the linearity of Charles Busby's late Regency architecture. The image, with its lights and fishing boats, captures perfectly what are enduring sides of both formal and informal Brighton. This print was awarded first prize in the Giles Bequest competition 1958 for colour prints from linoleum and wood.

Oil on canvas. Reduced: original size 71.1 x 91.4cm. Ivinghoe Beacon, north Buckinghamshire. It is late Spring, the trees are in leaf, the grass is green and the chalk of the downland reflects light from a milder sky. This is a particularly successful print. Nash often preferred to depict the autumnal English landscape with its muted and more sombre colours. Here, however, he is enthralled by lighter and fuller tones, tones more appropriate for the depiction of this burgeoning Spring-time copse.

With an incredible eye for detail and colour, Tokyo-born Natsko Seki is our favourite new illustrator. Her delightful designs contain illustration, photography and collage and have wonderful hidden humour- each one combining personal elements in lively public settings.

As her adopted home, London is a place very close to Natsko Seki's heart, and she has produced this beautiful and intricate design to celebrate the London 2012 Olympics. Alvailable exclusively at Tate Online shop and Tate Britain, the print features newcomers to the London skyline such as The Olympic Stadium and The Shard, as well as such enduring London icons as a routemaster bus, St Pauls Cathedral and Tate Modern.

Born in 1976, Natsko grew up in Tokyo, studied illustration in Brighton, and made her way to London where she now works on an increasing number of worldwide commissions.

Inspired by architecture and fashion from different ages and cultures, Natsko enjoys applying her friends and family members into her illustrations by collaging photos from her old family albums and her own photographs. She believes they are the crucial part of her practice; that her timeless illustrations become personal and have a meaning.

With an incredible eye for detail and colour, Tokyo-born Natsko Seki is our favourite new illustrator. Her delightful designs contain illustration, photography and collage and have wonderful hidden humour- each one combining personal elements in lively public settings.

Inspired by the age-old idea of the school playground, Natsko Seki's magical Playground set of prints will keep you entranced for hours. Including elements of the fantastical and the surreal (spot the children climbing an elephant, or riding giant birds!), her prints celebrate a child's imagination and freedom to play. The set of two prints look stunning side by side and feature variations only a beady eye will spot. Says Natsko of Playground:

"The kids are having a fun at the playground in the picture. Why not enjoy yourself too and try spotting the eight differences between the two!"

This is the shore at Dymchurch, Kent, where Nash moved with his wife in 1921. 'The Shore' depicts one of Nash's 'places'. What Nash portrays here is the struggle between Man and Nature, a struggle which, in perpetuity it would seem, neither are destined to win. There is a certain sadness: the wall stretches to a point beyond the horizon, and in this expanse the viewer remains unaccompanied except (it would seem) by the sounds of the waves distantly washing the sands below. But Nash finds a poignant beauty nevertheless - there are colours within this expanse, the beach reflects the sun, and the vast, water-drenched wall seems to shimmer in the muted light.

Beautiful limited edition print of Cyril Power's notable linocut The Tube Station (1932)

Originally printed from five blocks: Yellow Ochre, Spectrum Red, Permanent Blue, Viridian, and Chinese Blue, the artwork depicts Bank Road Tube Station, London. One of the most dynamic technological advances at the end of the nineteenth century had been the opening, between Paddington and Farringdon Street, of the world's first Underground. By the time this print was made in 1932 there were at least six kilometres of track, and the Underground was one of the most potent symbols of the new industrial age. Power was fascinated by the Underground, and he depicted various aspects: from stairs and cascading escalators, to, as here, the technologically advanced curves of the tunnels and electrical signage announcing arrival of the trains.

In this print it is almost as if Power has transposed musical notes into pictograms - the musicians become the notes, the tiered stage the lines or staves. Perhaps this transposition is not so surprising since Power was a musician himself, and played proficiently both the piano and the violin.

Atmospheric limited edition print of Cyril Power's notable linocut Whence and Whither? (1930) originally printed from four blocks: Chinese Orange, Viridian, Permanent Blue and Dark Blue Printing Ink. Artwork depicts escalator at Tottenham Court Road Station, London. The Underground - a symbol of the new industrial age, is often portrayed by Power, and here rush-hour is depicted to great effect. It is perhaps no wonder that Power's first title for this print - as seen on some of the preparatory sketches for this work - was Cascade.

A limited edition giclee print of Peter Lanyon's In The Trees.

The original of this original Peter Lanyon print (and its companion, Underground) was created in a studio above the Leach Pottery in St. Ives, Cornwall. Warren Mackenzie at the time was a visiting American student potter and worked on the print with Lanyon. The work is characteristic of Lanyon's approach to landscape painting - as John Berger writes of Lanyon's work "[he gathers] into one painting the sensation and vision of many separate viewpoints. He tilts the landscape up and looks at it from the air, he extends it sideways..." The white in the image - just as with the central black in the Underground print - is reminiscent of kanji (Japanese script) and may echo the influence that Japan had on Mackenzie's teacher, Bernard Leach.

The original coloured lithograph depicts London's busy Liverpool Street Station which Bawden knew very well as he used it regularly whilst travelling between London and Great Bardfield in Essex where he lived. In a BBC television programme in 1963, Bawden declared of the station "I think the ceiling is absolutely magnificent, it is one of the wonders of London". And, as depicted here, who could disagree?

This stunning vintage poster gives you the opportunity to own a rare piece of art history.

For several decades now, vintage lithographic posters have become collectible works of art in their own right. With little in common with offset or digital reproductions, their place in art history is well established and documented. In fact, they are now found in most museum collections.

Artists such as Miro were intimately involved in the production of these works. Conceived as announcements for exhibitions, ads for tourism and as illustrations for political events, these works were often the creations that had the broadest audience. Twentieth century artists were quite aware of this fact and therefore spent much energy and time on their design and quality.

These images could be found throughout the city streets of Europe, on the windows of shops and caf‚s and on bulletin boards of schools and community centers. Their life span was usually short as they were often destroyed and discarded when replaced by the next poster.

Starting in the 1920's, the Atelier Mourlot was the largest and best known print shop to manufacture these lithographic works and over the years. A selection of the surviving original posters are now available in Tate Online Shop.
