Does anyone know... [GOT ONE]

Does anyone know where I can get a nice high res. digital version of the "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster?

Just I've looked into buying a poster (on Amazon for instance), but they seem to only print them in HUGE sizes or otherwise they come all framed and value-added, where I only want one printed in say A4 or A3 size.

I thought maybe if someone had a nice digital version, I could just get it printed myself. I know it's a sort of random request, but I'd love a copy for my office wall.

Cheers
SL

Thanks! How odd is it that the massive psoters are cheap as chips and the little versions are minimum 10 pounds? Ugh. The post card sized one will probably do me. I could even sneaky-print it at work. :P

I don't know - but isn't it cool!? My mother got it as a tea-towel with some magazine to which she subscribes and I've had trouble refraining from stealing it from her.

I found a good version today and printed it A4 for work. It is now proudly displayed on my work wall/window. I love it!

Okay, stupid question but I don't know of this poster. Love to know more about it though. ;) Maybe you could post a small version of it.

Oh, it's a poster produced by the British Government in 1939 at the beginning of WWII to raise morale in case of invasion, but was never used. It was then rediscovered in 2000 and has since gone viral. There is a wiki article about it here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keep_Calm_and_Carry_On).

I found a reasonable quality version that prints nicely at A4 if you'd like it, but as my internet is buggy atm, I may have to upload it at a later date. I found it through googling though, so they are out there. :)
