William McDowell (1888 - 1950)
Shaw Savill Lines - Dominion Monarch
Original vintage poster 103 x 64 cm McDowell's poster advertises the magnitude and majesty of the Dominion Monarch, which dwarfs other boats and sails boldly forwards. Dominion Monarch was a UK passenger and refrigerated cargo liner. Her name was a reference to the Dominion of New Zealand, and she was built for Shaw, Savill & Albion Line (the shipping line of P Henderson & Company, a British shipping firm). McDowell was a painter, draughtsman and commercial artist, born in the shipbuilding town of Barrow-in-Furness, Lancashire. After leaving school he was apprenticed in the drawing office of the engineering firm Vickers, and eventually became a member of the Institute of Naval Architects. Shortly after the First World War, McDowell left naval architecture to become a full-time artist, producing murals for the liner Mauretania and other vessels, eventually settling in Wallasey, Cheshire. Many of his own paintings were of historical or maritime subjects, shown at the Walker Art Gallery and elsewhere. In 1919 he had a picture included in the RA Summer Exhibition. During the Second World War he was commissioned in the Royal Naval Scientific Service. Condition: generally very good, occasional repaired short edge tears, a little spotting primarily to blank panel at bottom and slightly creased at edges.

after Maurice Utrillo (1883 - 1955)
France: La Cathédrale de Reims
Original vintage poster 100 x 62 cm Commissioned by the Ministère des Travaux Publics et des Transports and the Commissariat général au Tourisme. Printed in France, by and for the French Government. Printed by Braun & Cie, Mulhouse-Paris. This poster, featuring a Utrillo painting of Reims Cathedral, was printed by the French tourist board to encourage holidays to France. Utrillo's depiction of Reims is highly post-impressionist, with thick layers of impasto and an inventive colour palette. Maurice Utrillo was a French painter who specialised in post-impressionist cityscapes, particularly of Montmartre, where he lived. His mother was Suzanne Valadon, an artist's model who sat for several French painters, including Renoir. Utrillo's father is unknown, though the painter Miquel Utrillo acknowledged him as his own some years after his birth. Valedon became a painter herself after several years of modelling, and was mentored by Degas. She encouraged her son to become a painter, and he received positive critical attention in the 1910s, followed by international popularity in the following decade. He was awarded the Cross of the Légion d'Honneur in 1928 and is today known for his poetic depictions of Paris, especially Montmartre. He is buried there, in the Cimetière Saint-Vincent, having suffered from mental illness and alcoholism for most of his life. Condition: generally very good; a few tiny repaired edge tears.
