The posters in this book demonstrate the graphic language emerging in Britain in the 20th century, as commercial art was transformed into graphic design. The work illustrated is drawn entirely from the prestigious graphic collection of Paul and Karen Rennie, with posters from artists including Paul Nash, Edward Bawden, Edward McKnight Kauffer, Abram Games, Tom Eckersley, FHK Henrion and many others. Shown on pages 78/79 are McKnight Kauffer designs for cotton labels. A collection of 36 labels was re-produced as a limited edition facsimile print of 500 sets by Baseline. It is available on our website in the section Other Products.

This is a good reference book about British graphic design. It is available at a 30% discount to Baseline readers. Buy this copy now before the first edition hard cover has sold out!
