Nipper the HMV Dog

From the Illustration archives of former tutor Brian Love, here’s a gem of a poster:

The exhibition was held in the Senior Common Room at Knights Park (now known as Staff Space) from 17 April – 8 May 1989.

In it, sixty Kingston illustrators including staff, students and friends produced work celebrating Nipper the Dog, mascot of HMV. As everyone with a connection with Kingston is sure to know already, Nipper’s final resting place is in the centre of Kingston, where a blue plaque commemorates his legacy. ArchiveKSA hopes he’s listening to gramophones above us all right now…
