This colorful collection of posters was designed by the Apple artists collectively known as The Fool. The design group of Josje Leeger, Marijke Koger, and Simon Postuma, moved to London in 1966 after running their own boutique in Amsterdam called The Trend. Brian Epstein was introduced to the work of the Fool through public relations specialist Barry Finch, who soon became a member of the group himself. The Fool persuded the Beatles to hire them as designers for their Apple Boutique line of clothing in 1967.. It was also the Fool who designed the huge mural that adorned the facade of the Baker Street store; a move that stirred considerable controversy as other local merchants mounted a successful campaign to have it whitewashed. After the closing of the Apple Boutique in 1968, the Fool moved to the United States where, after recording an album entitled "The Fool," they founded The Chariot design company and began designing theatres.
On the reverse of five of the following seven posters is printed, "designed by Simon & Marijke, Apple Publishing & Company LTD., reproduced & printed in England by Trade Platemaking Services". One is attributed to Josje & Barry.
While these posters were sold at the Apple Boutique, further distribution in the U.K. was quite limited. To the best of our knowledge, the posters were never marketed in America.
