This print shows colorful toucans from a 1960s wrapping paper design. Clifford Richards made it as part of a fun children’s product line. The paper was made by Polypops Products, a small company that also sold furniture and toys. It’s a silkscreen print, bright and playful, meant for kids. The design was part of a bigger 1960s trend for lively, pop-style art in everyday items. Check out more of Clifford Richards’ work at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
