Banksy Peckham Rock replica wooden postcard from The British Museum

Wooden Postcard

Size 18cm x 12cm

Purchased from The British Museum

Released in 2018

A Pest Control release


The original concrete Peckham Rock depicting a prehistoric figure pushing a shopping trolley was placed by Banksy in The British Museum in 2005 alongside an official looking label. The artwork stayed in position for 3 days before being noticed and removed. The reverse of the replica you see here has the information that was displayed on the label next to the original piece. This wooden replica has been made with the permission of Pest Control and is therefore an official piece of Banksy work that was released by the British Museum in 2018 during the exhibition ‘I object: Ian Hislop’s search for dissent’
