  • Cyril Kenneth Bird ‘Fougasse’ (1887 - 1965)

    Become a Rugby Referee

      Lithographic poster 32 x 26 cm "If you sometimes wonder whether you still enjoy being battered about on a Sunday afternoon quite as much as you did, why not give a thought to refereeing - which would allow you to keep up a connection with the game of games, and do a very useful job for it too." Fougasse was a British cartoonist. He was art editor of Punch between 1937 and 1949, and subsequently editor until 1953. He is best known for his ‘Careless Talk Costs Lives’ series of posters, and the other posters for the Ministry of Information and London Transport. As the Second World War progressed, the Ministry of Information’s poster campaign had become less and less effective. There were posters instructing the population to save old clothes for rags, turn off the lights, save food, dig for victory, watch out for spies, and keep calm and carry on. With this instruction overload, the population had ceased paying attention to the posters. Fougasse noticed this, and offered his services unpaid to the Ministry of Information, with a view to bringing a touch of humour to the posters. His amusing designs with pithy captions, reminiscent of newspaper cartoons, helped to get the Ministry's messages across in a novel way.
    Fougasse's distinctive poster style, with the red border, was subsequently adopted by other Ministry artists.

He created posters for Shell Oil, the Great Western Railway and other commercial clients, and also illustrated books and book covers.

He returned to New York City in 1940 and began designing posters for American Airlines (his primary client until his death) in 1947 .In 1952 he designed the book jacket for Ralph Ellison's novel Invisible Man - arguably Kauffer's most famous work.
