About the Item

This impressively large advertisement poster was created by acclaimed illustrator Mark English to promote the Masterpiece Theatre television adaptation of "Strangers & Brothers," based on the works of C.P. Snow. Commissioned by Mobil, a principal sponsor of the iconic PBS series, this poster captures the sophisticated tone and intellectual depth that defined the show's ethos. Mark English, known for his masterful use of texture, muted color palettes, and layered composition, lends his signature style to this poster. The artwork reflects a refined blend of classical elegance and modern sensibility, perfectly encapsulating the narrative's exploration of power, ambition, and moral complexity within British academic and political life. The poster’s imposing size enhances its visual impact, making it ideal for prominent display. Printed using high-quality offset lithography, it showcases sharp detailing and rich tonal depth, hallmarks of English's celebrated illustration technique. As part of the Mobil Masterpiece Theatre promotional series, this poster serves as both a collectible artifact and a visual representation of the era’s elevated approach to television marketing. Posters from this campaign remain highly sought after by collectors of vintage television memorabilia, illustration art, and works by Mark English, one of the most influential American illustrators of the 20th century.

Brothers 1
By Daniel Oguche Junior
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
The bond between brothers, whether by blood or through the strong connection forged by friendship, is truly special. It's amazing how we can find support and solace in those who may not be family but have chosen to be there for us. Martin Luther rightly said, "We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but we have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers". In a collective society, it's crucial for us to embrace the concept of being our brother's keeper. By nurturing a sense of empathy and compassion, we can make a positive difference in each other's lives. Whether it's lending a helping hand, offering a listening ear, or providing support during challenging times, being there for one another creates a stronger and more supportive community. Let us always cherish and celebrate the unbreakable bond we share with our brothers, both by blood and through the deep connections we form along life's journey. Together, we can create a world where everyone feels loved, supported, and appreciated.
