About the subject of the print

This signed limited edition silkscreen print by renowned comic artist Beryl Cook shows:
dustmen collecting the rubbish. There is one man in the background and four large men emptying dustbins wearing big red gloves black overalls and flat caps fill most of the scene. The bins are various shades of grey.

Garbage collectors are known as Dustbinmen or dustmen in England. Other terms are also used these days, such as waste operatives but that is more of an official term. In most areas of Great Britain household rubbish is collected weekly and has long been the subject of songs and comedy but beryl has celebrated it in visual art.

40 Colours are used to make the print.

This print is Very Rarely found for sale to the public.
