Lot description

Edward McKnight Kauffer British Industries Fair / Olympia White City vintage poster 1937 10 h x 12.5 w in (25 x 32 cm) This small-format poster was commissioned by the Underground Electric Railways Company of London, Ltd. (UERL) for the British Industries Fair at Kensington Olympia in February 1937. Created during a period when Kauffer was at the height of his career, the design reflects his pioneering fusion of European avant-garde influences and commercial advertising, which helped redefine the visual language of British transport posters. Though born in the U.S.A., Kauffer is best known for his graphic works for London Underground and other U.K-based firms. An example of this poster is held in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. Provenance: Collection of William Crouse This work will ship from Chicago, Illinois.
