KUKRYNIKSY Новый «Болшой Скачок» Пекина [The new Great Leap of Peking [Beijing]] Moscow, Izadetelstvo 'Plakat' 1977 54 x 37 cm, 12 posters loosely inserted in a printed paper portfolio featuring one further designs, portfolio lightly worn with numerous short tears, else fine. A dramatic collection of irreverent depictions of Imperialism in inimitable Kukryniksi style, from the 1970s. The posters pillory many prominent motifs of the 20th century, including Hitler, NATO, the BBC, and American civil rights. The Kukryniksi - a portmanteau name derived from the names of the three artists, Mikhail Kupryanov (Ku), Porfiri Krylov (Kry), and Nikolai Sokolov (Niks) - are arguably the most successful Russian caricaturists. Favoured by the establishment, they were rarely privileged in being allowed to travel, producing views of Europe as well as a variety of spirited propaganda drawings in support of the Russian war effort, and illustrating many classic Russian texts. -
Ernest Wallcousins (1882-1976) Keep Calm and Carry On (Medium size)
Ministry of Information Lithographic poster, 1939 50 x 37 cm ('Crown' size) Very rare - we have traced copies in the Imperial War Museum collection but no other public collection. Provenance: part of a small stock of posters cleared from a police station in Suffolk in the 1940s. These posters were generally sent out to police stations in groups of six or twelve. Shortly after the war, during a clear-out of the police station, these posters were put aside to be disposed of. A young police constable requested permission to take them home, and permission was granted. They spent the following nearly eight decades, surviving house moves and a long-suffering wife, sitting in a drawer. Following the policeman's death, his family have allowed the posters to be sold. As the small stock of posters at this police station came in all three sizes (small at 38 x 25 cm; medium at 38 x 50 cm; large at 75 x 50 cm) we are able to offer all three for sale today. An instantly-recognisable brand today, this poster was reserved for use in the event of the German invasion. Once it became obvious that they were not going to invade, these posters were sent back for recycling. As they were never used, the survivors are incredibly rare. Of public collections only the Imperial War Museum – which has a very extensive collection of wartime posters – has a copy of this poster. The story of the poster is well known these days, but bears repeating. In 1939, with invasion an ever-present threat, HM Government commissioned three posters with snippets designed to encourage the population. Bearing a crown at the top, it was clearly intended to be a message from the King: “Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution, Will Bring Us Victory” was displayed widely, with hundreds of thousands being printed; similarly “Freedom is in Peril Defend it with all Your Might.” The third poster – “Keep Calm and Carry On” – was distributed, but was to be held back and only used in the event of invasion. In the event the poster campaign was not a great success, with the people regarding it as an instruction from the powers-that-be that it was the people, not the leaders, who were going to be the ones doing the hard work. As the invasion never happened, Hitler’s armies being otherwise occupied elsewhere in the world, and the Spitfire achieving victory in the Battle of Britain, the Keep Calm posters were never used. Owing to the shortage of raw materials, the paper was recycled and there the story should have ended. However, in 2000, the owner of Barter Books in Alnwick discovered a copy of the poster in the bottom of a box of books. They hung it up in their shop and started producing reproductions, and the poster has become an internationally recognised image, reproduced on mugs, t-shirts, and adapted into such uplifting slogans as “Keep Calm and Drink Tea”. A much more successful series of propaganda was created by ‘Fougasse’ – Cyril Bird. Picture editor of Punch from 1937-1949, then editor until 1953, he noted that the best sort of advertising would make people smile. He worked unpaid for the Ministry of Information during the war, producing cartoons with a short word of advise. His Careless Talk Costs Lives series of posters are amongst the most famous of the propaganda campaigns of the Second World War. -

Orlov, V and Denisenko За успехи в труде [Success Through Work] (1978) Moscow, Izdaltelstvo Plakat Original vintage posters 43 x 56 cm A poster collection comprising twelve leaves loosely inserted in a printed paper portfolio, one plate previously folded, a little light wear to some fore-edges, light wear to portfolio spine, else very good. First edition. A collection of popular Soviet motifs on the enduring theme of Success through Work, created to provide best-practice design templates for artworkers, artists and propaganda designers responsible for the illustration of official Soviet literature and art, mosaics, wall-paintings, and posters. Motifs include Lenin, the distinctive logos of various Soviet bodies including the Young Guard, and medallions commemorating events such as the October revolution. Numerous medal-designs for individual and collective excellence in all kinds of industry, including farming, mining, husbandry, and machine-working also appear. Designed for eminently practical use, with cut-out lines between the individual vignettes, these pattern books rarely survived intact. -
Abram Games (1914-1996)
Guinness 5 Million Daily
Original vintage poster 152 x 102 cm This advertising poster dates from the early 1960s. It features a playful use of text, with the correct orientation of the poster varying depending on whether you first read 'Guinness' or '5 Million daily.' In a further act of advertising mischief, it also disguises a simple illustration of a pint of Guinness within the text. This masterful use of typography is typical of his broader practice, as his works are characterised by his use of striking colour, bold graphic ideas, and beautifully integrated typography. Throughout the 20th century, Abram Games distinguished himself as one of the greatest British graphic designers of the time and his oeuvre now offers a scintillating record of social history. Other notable works of his include the 'Blonde Bombshell’ ATS poster of 1941 and the 'Festival Star', designed for the 1951 Festival of Britain.
