Paul Rennie Bücher

An overview of twentieth century giant of graphic design Tom Eckersley, packed with hundreds of his instantly recognisable, bright and colourful posters.

In 2011, RoSPA made a wonderful discovery: a superb 'missing' archive of historical safety posters dating from the 1930s to 1970s. These posters not only showcase the talented designers of the time, but also reflect the momentous changes that swept 20th-century Britain.

Lavishly illustrated, the book is an indispensable guide to the 1951 Festival of Britain, its objects and their meanings in the twenty-first century.

Focusing on the evolution of modern art and graphic design in Britain, this book examines the role of posters as a key medium since the 1860s. It highlights how posters reflect the seamless integration of art, design, and architecture in modern society, showcasing their significance as an expressive form throughout the twentieth century.

Tells the story of the Post Office and the use of design in its visual communications.
