Located in Chicago, IL
Walter Schnackenberg’s style changed several times during his long and successful career. Having studied in Munich, the artist traveled often to Paris where he fell under the spell of the Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s colorful and sensuous posters depicting theatrical and decadent subjects. Schnackenberg became a regular contributor of similar compositions to the German magazines Jugend and Simplicissimus before devoting himself to the design of stage scenery and costumes. In the artist’s theatrical work, his mastery of form, ornamentation, and Orientalism became increasingly evident. He excelled at combining fluid Art...

Circa 1950 original poster by Kenneth Steel : Lancaster Castle British Railways
Located in PARIS, FR
The circa 1950 original poster by Kenneth Steel, promoting Lancaster Castle under the banner of British Railways, stands as a remarkable piece of mid-20th-century travel advertising. This poster invites viewers to explore one of England's most historic and architecturally significant landmarks, highlighting the accessibility and convenience of visiting the site via the British railway system.
Kenneth Steel, known for his mastery in watercolors and lithography, captures Lancaster Castle with a sense of grandeur and historic depth. The castle, with its robust Norman architecture, is beautifully depicted in warm tones that emphasize the texture of the stone walls and the lush greenery surrounding the fortress. Steel’s ability to blend light and shadow brings the scene to life, creating a welcoming yet majestic atmosphere that encourages travel and exploration.
At the heart of the poster is Lancaster Castle, a symbol of England’s rich medieval heritage. The text below the image provides historical context, noting that the castle, originally a Norman structure from the 11th century, was significantly strengthened and expanded in the 14th century by John of Gaunt...
