GPO: Design - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

During the 1930s, the General Post Office (GPO) was at the forefront of a new form of public relations. Under the stewardship of Sir Stephen Tallents, the GPO became a major patron of art and design in Britain.

Design: GPO Posters presents the posters and graphic design of the Post Office from the 1930s to c.1970. Drawing exclusively on the archives of the British Postal Museum & Archive, this book describes the major personalities and themes of this ambitious and long-running campaign.

The posters also contribute, through the extraordinary prescience of Tallent's patronage, to the emerging concept of a networked and wired-up economy of communication. Accordingly, the posters speak of modernity, community and service. Themes that appear increasingly meaningful today.
