King launched his career at Britain’s \u003ci\u003eSunday Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e in the 1960s, starting as a designer and later branching out into image-led journalism. He developed a particular interest in revolutionary Russia and began amassing a collection of graphic art and photographs—ultimately accumulating around 250,000 images that he shared with news outlets. Throughout his life, King blended political activism with his graphic design work, creating anti-Apartheid and anti-Nazi posters, covers for books on Communist history, album artwork for \u003ci\u003eThe Who \u003c\/i\u003eand Jimi Hendrix, catalogues on Russian art and society for the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford, and typographic covers for the left-wing magazine \u003ci\u003eCity Limits\u003c\/i\u003e. This well-researched and finely illustrated publication ties together King’s accomplishments as a visual historian, artist, journalist, and activist.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57315964879230,"sku":"NW9780300250107","price":32.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780300250107.jpg?v=1778716977","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/david-king","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
