Lot description

RONALD LAMPITT (DATES UNKNOWN) CORNWALL. 1936. 39 1/2x49 1/4 inches, 100 1/4x125 cm. J. Weiner, London. Condition B / B+: water stain along bottom edge; loss in lower left corner; restored losses, repaired tears and overpainting in margins and image. One in a "series of three designed by Ronald Lampitt in an innovative mosaic style using grouped rectangles in different colors . . . The designs were much admired. The Railway Gazette was particularly impressed: 'The richness of color and design obtained by the Romans in their tesselated pavements have inspired a new style of Great Western Railway poster . . . The tesselated principle offers new possibilities in poster advertising by reasons of its effectiveness when viewed from a distance' (15 May, 1936)" (Railway p. 44). Le Train p. 130, Railway p. 44.
