    Lithograph in colours, 1937 25 x 30cm (10 x 12.5 inches) Vintage Oxford v Cambridge Boat Race poster from 1937. These small posters were designed to be utilised on buses. Born in Southwark and educated at the Central Schools of Arts and Crafts, Drake Brookshaw was a renowned designer for the Underground Group and London Transport between 1928 and 1958. His wonderful posters evoke a feeling of movement, and probably none more so than this one as the seven visible men strain on their oars.  His clever use of colour includes both light blue for Cambridge, and dark blue for Oxford.

    Boat Race 1921

    Lithograph 102 x 64 cm Signed upper right in plate. Charles Paine's iconic 1921 poster encourages the use of the London Underground in order to view the Boat Race.

Charles Paine was a versatile and prolific designer, who drew on his training in stained glass to create bold, structured and highly stylised lithographs for a variety of companies. This decorative and brightly-coloured map illustrates the various county regiments of Great Britain, with a border of regimental badges. Condition: backed to linen; excellent, two small areas of repair to margin (invisible); hint of old folds. If you are interested, please email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056.

  • Pieter van der Aa (1659-1733), after David Loggan (1634–1692)

    Map of Cambridge

      Engraving (1727) 12 x 16 cm An eighteenth-century map of Cambridge engraved by Pieter van der Aa after David Loggan, the noted engraver, draughtsman, and painter who specialised in engravings of Oxford and Cambridge. Loggan's vision illustrates the inimitable layout of Cambridge; the River Cam, Bridge Street, and Trumpington Street bend across the map like arteries. Pieter van der Aa of Leiden was a Dutch publisher best known for preparing maps and atlases, though he also printed editions of foreign bestsellers and illustrated volumes. He is noted for the many engravings he produced after David Loggan's series of Oxford and Cambridge colleges and costumes. In 1727 Van Der Aa illustrated "Les Delices de la Grande Bretagne & de L'Irelande" by James Beeverell, the book in which this engraving appears.

    Map of Cambridgeshire

      Engraving 43 x 36 cm Signed in plate lower left. A beautifully coloured 18th century map engraving of Cambridgeshire. The map was produced by Robert Morden for publication in Edward Gibson's 1695 translation of William Camden's Britannia, a topographical and historical survey of Great Britain and Ireland produced to "restore antiquity to Britaine, and Britain to his antiquity" - a most noble aim. William Camden (1551 - 1623) was an English antiquarian, historian, topographer, and herald, best known as the author of Britannia, the first chorographical survey of the islands of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Annales, the first detailed historical account of the Queen Elizabeth I's reign. Sutton Nicholls was a draughtsman and engraver best known for his panoramic views of the cities of London and Westminster. Almost all of his engravings were commissioned by publishers. Nicholls specialised in topographical and architectural designs; he also produced many maps, notably illustrating John Strype’s edition of John Stowe’s ‘Survey of London’ in 1720. Condition: good. Mounted to board. If you’d like to know more, please email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056.
