When X Clothes rebranded as Ace Clothing in the early 1990s TDR™ created a Hanna Barbaric series of playing card characters (here — Ace of Spades and Jack of Clubs) primarily for a collection of wearables to launch the new brand for sale in their Leeds store (and via their other stockists). Essentially for promo these designs were adapted as A3 prints initially to give away with purchases.

The prints were printed 2-up on A2 (B2) to cut down to A3.

This a printer’s proof with two of the designs pre-crop with the colour bar intact. Never previously available in this format being intended just to check print.
