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.
