Travel & Vintage Posters

Our next auction of Travel & Vintage Posters on 29 October features a remarkable selection of rare British travel posters, including pieces from the collection of David Hillman (lots 37 to 40), the influential British graphic designer best known for his ground-breaking redesign of The Guardian in 1988. Among the highlights is ?The Houses of Parliament? (c.1925) by Norman Wilkinson, promoting travel to London via LMS. Hillman had a particular admiration for the work of Tom Purvis, renowned for his classic Art Deco style marked by bold silhouettes and minimal colour palettes. This style is clearly evident in Purvis?s striking designs for "Yorkshire Moors" (1930) and "Lincolnshire",(1933) both featured in the auction. Also included in the sale is a rare opportunity to acquire a collection of London Underground posters advertising travel to London Zoo. Dating from 1913 to 1930, considered the golden age of London Underground design, the collection features "For The Zoo, Sealions", created in 1925 by Ruth Sandys, with an estimate of ?5,000?7,000.
