The poster was initially produced by the Ministry of Information in 1939 during the beginning of World War II, and was intended as a "last case scenario" to be used only should the Nazis succeed in invading Britain via Operation Sealion, in order to stiffen resolve. Two-and-a-half million copies were printed, although the poster was distributed only in limited numbers. The designer of the poster is not known. (wiki)24 February 2010

i have 2 of these prints from keep calm gallery. i finally got my second one framed (the first one ripped). classic and also kind of ubiquitous in the home design world now!
I have a necklace from Dogeared with a little crown on it that is from that. I am wearing it right now, in fact. And I have the pla-card posted in my bedroom.
