early posters by Mcknight Kauffer
These posters are from the earliest period of Kauffer's career as a poster
designer. They are from 1915 through to 1924 which was the year that
Kauffer's Art of the Poster was published. The book was dedicated to
Frank Pick who was advertising manager of the companies that
would later be formed into London Transport. It was Pick who
commissioned these images from Kauffer.
The posters are for destinations around London where countryside
and history combine to provide a day out.
These posters are from the collection of a graphic designer who
collected them during the1930s. They have been kept in a plan-chest
and are in remarkable condition. Two of the posters have old tape
marks to the edges.
We offer them in original condition. If you require any further information
