Description

An exceptionally rare, original 1980 Joy Division Unknown Pleasures promotional poster. It features the legendary Peter Saville design—a data visualization of radio waves from pulsar CP 1919—rendered in a stark white-on-black aesthetic.

Measuring approximately 25 x 35 inches, this poster lacks the common damage found on period pieces, as it has been kept free of pinholes. It is a foundational piece of post-punk history, capturing the minimalist spirit of the Manchester scene.
