Cyril Kenneth Bird ‘Fougasse’ (British, 1887-1965) Careless Talk Costs Lives
Lithographic poster c.1940 32 x 20 cm (12.5 x 8 in) The cartoonist Fougasse, was a British cartoonist who was art editor of Punch 1937-1949, and subsequently editor until 1953. He is best known for his ‘Careless Talk Costs Lives’ series of posters, and the other posters both for the Ministry of Information, London Underground and others. The Ministry of Information’s wartime poster campaign was soon regarded as dull and uninspiring on account of its hectoring messages such as ‘Keep Calm and Carry On.’ There were posters telling the population how to conduct virtually every minute of their daily lives – for instance by saving old clothes for rags, turning off the lights, saving food, digging for victory, or watching out for spies. With this instruction overload the population ceased paying attention to the posters, so Fougasse offered his services to the Ministry of Information unpaid, with a view to bringing a touch of humour to serious messages. An amusing picture and a pithy caption helped to get the message across to the reader. His distinctive style, with the red border, was adopted by other Ministry artists.

You can be sure of Shell
Chanter's Folly and Dry Dock, Appledore
Lithographic poster for Shell Mex BP (1937) 30x44" Provenance: the family of the artist, by descent. Condition: A/A- backed to linen. Click here for biographical details and other works by the artist. Shell produced a large series of posters in the 1920s and 30s to encourage motorists to use their products in that early and golden age of motoring. They often commission artists not known for their commercial art, so their posters very often featured large and dramatic views of the British countryside and landmarks, inspiring motorists to travel further afield. Here the Ellises have taken a well-known landmark and applied avant-garde artistic techniques so stylising the view, turning, e.g. the clouds into an array of angular v-shaped blocks. Thomas Burnard Chanter (1797-1874) was owner of a fleet of sailing vessels and erected a signal tower ('Chanter's Folly') to give him advance notice of his vessels' arrival. It was demolished in 1952. The dry dock - Richmond dry dock - was built in 1853 and designed to hold two 'large' ships. It exists today and is Grade II listed.

In 1946 the British Army of the Rhine was created to protect Germany - and indeed Europe - from a Soviet invasion. Numbering up to 80,000 soldiers it was estimated that in the event of war the life expectancy of a tank commander would be less than two days. A Real Man's Life indeed.

Boat Race at the Dorchester (1939)
Lithographic brochure 15 x 19.5 cm From a small archive of works by Brownbridge, a member of the Society of Industrial Artists. A design for a poster advertising the Dorchester's dinner after the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. The artist has built his design around dark and light blues, to represent the colours of Oxford and Cambridge respectively. Brownbridge's design is marvellously 1930s, from the boldly decorative typeface to the whimsically glamorous guests and their waiters floating below the invitation. Boat Race dinners in London are rather different today; at any rate, prices are not normally advertised as 'excluding Wines and Cigars'.

Pen and Gouache c. 1940 75cm x 75cm "The prowess of our R.A.F. has not taken long to show a real effectiveness. The encounters of the last few days has sown to our enemy our supremacy.

Berlin (1955)
Lithographic poster 84 x 61 cm Original Vintage Poster Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche from Kurfürstendamm by Night A view of the 'Champs Elysee' of Berlin, the main shopping street in 1955. Although it was designed just ten years after the Second World War's end, when much of the city still bore the scars of devastating conflict, the poster still manages to evoke a pre-war idea of Berlin (especially seen through the glamorous lens of the postwar 1950s). Fashionable figures cross the street, the cars are the latest and brightest, and the humming city is reflected in the wet road. This poster was designed to be overprinted with the name of the local airline. If you are interested email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056. Condition: Good. Backed to linen. Small loss to bottom left corner in margin; a little white spotting to the 'Berlin' panel. -
Harry Arthur Riley (1895 - 1966)
Barmouth, North Wales, for Mountain, Sand & Sea
Original vintage poster 100 x 60 cm Riley's vintage poster extols the virtues of visiting sunny Barmouth - the scene depicts dozens of attractively (if perhaps unrealistically) tanned holidaymakers, a bright blue sea, and a pretty coastal town. The poster was part of a series produced for British Railways, designed to encourage rail travel to beauty spots across Britain. Principally known as a commercial artist, Harry Riley RI’s iconic poster designs of the 1920s - 1960s and his bright, joyful and idyllic depictions of British seaside holiday destinations, such as Morecambe, Plymouth, Weston-Super-Mare and Ilfracombe, were used to advertise the British rail network and have come to define Post-War British leisure and travel. He was also known for this work with airliners such as BOAC and Qantas. Although not an easily identifiable name within the echelons of the mid-20th century commercial art scene, Riley’s works pay testament to a highly skilled and prolific artist whose visual style fittingly captures the idealistic and amber-tinted vision of early 1960s glamour that the era’s commercial and travel sectors strove to embody. Harry Riley studied at St Martin's School of Art and was soon commissioned to produce commercial art and poster designs for companies such as Selfridges and Fortnum & Mason. He became a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour and worked as a cartoonist for the Daily Mail, later becoming President of the London Sketch Club. The bright and bold style of his art for British Railways has become instantly recognisable today and is an illustration of travel, leisure, and idealism in post-war Britain. Condition: colours good. Backed to board. If you are interested, please email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056. Click here for other original vintage travel posters. -
Graham Sutherland (1903 - 1980)
Away by Green Line (1936)
Original vintage poster 103 x 63 cm A copy of this poster is held by the London Transport Museum (1983/4/4500). A poster produced for London Transport illustrating the pleasurable destinations to be reached via Green Line Coaches. Sutherland's design depicts a pitchfork and a maize dolly - two promises of country life which the city-dweller might now easily access, thanks to the advent of British coach travel. Graham Sutherland OM was an English artist known for his romantic, abstract landscapes and portraits of public figures, including Churchill and the Queen Mother. Sutherland spent the 1920s mostly making landscape prints, but, following the collapse of the print market in the early 1930s branched out into watercolours. He also undertook a few commercial commissions for posters, working for London Transport, Shell and others. He served as an official war artist in the Second World War, painting industrial scenes on the British home front. After the war he worked in oils and explored figurative painting.

Arne Ungermann (1902-1981)
'Den Permanente', "The Permanente Exhibition" (1956)
Lithographic poster 84 x 61 cm The Danish artist Arne Ungermann designed this poster in 1956 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Den Permanente in Copenhagen. Den Permanente, or the Permanent Exhibition, celebrated Danish art, craft, and design, and operated between the 1930s and 1980s. The Danish silversmith Kay Bojesen came up with the idea for the exhibition, which also served as a shop where customers could buy Danish art and crafts. Bojesen's idea became a reality when Christian Grauballe, director of the iconic Danish design company Holmegaard, invested in it in 1931. Den Permanente became an icon of Danish 20th century design, selling furniture, glassware, lighting, ceramics, jewellery, and textiles. Bojesen is most famous for his wooden monkey design, which Ungermann features in his poster. The motif of the mermaid emerging from the sea could be a motif drawn from Hans Christian Andersen, but made modern - she breaks the surface of the ocean in order to marvel at the treasure trove of man-made objects exhibited at Den Permanente. The notable Little Mermaid statue on Copenhagen's promenade, installed in 1913, is also inspired by Andersen's fairy tale.
