British Vintage Poster Artists
Barclay's Lager
by Tom PurvisThe art of poster design in London and Great Britain didn't develop as early or as rapidly as in Paris and France. Two early examples of British poster designers in the Belle Epoque era were James Pryde and William Nicholson, who designed posters under the pseudonym of the Beggarstaff Brothers (they were actually brothers-in-law, with William having married James' sister, Mable). In Britain, posters were less likely to be entertainment-oriented and more likely to be travel-oriented, with artists such as Tom Purvis, Frank Newbould, Fred Taylor, and Norman Wilkinson winning frequent commissions from the nation's major railways, London and Northeast Railway (LNER), Great Western Railway (GWR), Southern Railway (SR) and London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS), for posters advertising golf courses, beach resorts, and other vacation and travel destinations outside of London.
Edinburgh
by Frank NewbouldBritish poster artists developed their own distinctive style, relying more on flat bright colors and less on the more painterly effects achieved by French poster artists. British poster style is also more uniform, perhaps due to a more limited range of both themes and clients. Click any thumbnail to view a larger version or make a purchase.
