It is among the earliest and most reproduced of the anti war images and was printed on pink in an edition that collectors still chase. Dismaland, the Bemusement Park, opened for five weeks in a derelict lido at Weston-super-Mare and drew more than a hundred and fifty thousand visitors. Small canvases and altered banknotes were sold on site in tiny numbers, which is why material from the park is studied so carefully today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bomb Hugger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spray paint on stretched canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Numbered out of 15 on the reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dismaland stamp and marker inscription to the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePapers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Park souvenir sheet and ticket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes are measured by hand; please allow a small margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo conspicuous marks or stains are recorded.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStaples and stretcher show ordinary handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eA (excellent)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is offered as attributed, on the strength of the papers that travel with it and which are shown in the photographs.
