1960's Coach Travel Poster by Donald Smith

About the Item

Gorgeous colours in this original English 1960’s coach travel poster by Donald Smith. This rare poster would have been displayed in a UK travel bureau or in a bus or coach serving routes around the UK. Coach firms had a captive market before the advent of mass car ownership and these small panel posters were a reliable form of advertising. This would have been a generic poster used by many of the local bus companies run by the Tilling Group. The company started in 1847 and became a major bus operator. The group was nationalised in 1948 and later absorbed into the British Transport Commission. This original poster is in good condition and is linen backed to allow ease of handling and framing. Free postage

  • 1960s Double-Sided School Poster by Oge-Hachette, The Farm and The Train Station
    Located in Miami, FL
    Very decorative double-sided poster from Oge-Hachette, depicting the joys of life during the summertime and a visit to the hospital. This vintage wall decoration has wonderful details. Produced in France in the 1960s as educational tools for school children. Would be great in a classroom. This poster titles are "La Ferme and La Gare/The Farm and The Train Station. The item remains is very good condition. Would look great framed. Could be placed in a clear frame hanging in an open area for viewing on both sides. When arriving in class in the morning, the pupil discovered the lesson of the day to be taught, thanks to the educational poster/board hung on the wall by the teacher. Each was numbered and was part of a series developing a theme. For example geography, history or science with the famous object lessons! In general, the poster consisted of drawings that were at once schematic, figurative and very colorful which captured the attention of schoolchildren ...
