To celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the Penguin Classics the firm commissioned five prominent artists to design bindings for limited runs of influential books previously published in the series. The embroidered Paul Smith design for Lady Chatterley's Lover is one of the most popular of the series. Lady Chatterley's Lover was first published in the UK, by Penguin, in 1960 after a well-publicised legal battle in November of that year. Penguin's successful defence of the work is acknowledged as a milestone for the liberalisation of British publishing, and a gateway to the permissive social attitudes of the 1960s.
