Two Adjacent Guardian Newspapers Pre and Post Redesign
Selling a cool pair of adjacent Guardian newspapers from February 1988 that capture the exact moment of their famous masthead/typeface redesign (designed by David Hillman, introduced 12 Feb 1988—now iconic with italic “The” + bold “Guardian”).
• Thursday 11 Feb 1988: Pre-redesign masthead + big front-page Spycatcher story (“Top judges spurn Spycatcher ban” – freedom of press headline from Thatcher-era censorship battle).
• Friday 12 Feb 1988: Debut of new two-line masthead + continued coverage.
Both in good readable condition for age (some yellowing/folds normal, no major tears). Interesting slice of 1980s media history—Spycatcher saga was huge news, and this pair shows the visual change.
Perfect for collectors of vintage newspapers, journalism history, graphic design ephemera, or Irish/UK nostalgia.
