1960's Coach Travel Poster by Harry Stevens

About the Item

Original English 1960's bus panel poster promoting coach excursions to the theatre. This rare poster would have been displayed in travel offices or in a bus or coach serving routes around Britain. Coach companies had a captive market before the advent of mass car ownership and these small panel posters were a useful advertising tool. This striking travel poster, by Harry Stevens (1919 - 2008), illustrating characters from the theatre and pantomime, is full of humour and intense colours. Harry Stevens was born in Manchester, UK, and became a freelance designer, joining the Society of Industrial Artists in 1955. He specialised in poster design for a wide variety of clients, most notably London Transport and the General Post Office. His work can be seen in The London Transport Museum and The Postal Museum. The poster is professionally mounted on linen. This is a conservation process which cleans the poster and allows for ease of handling and framing. It is in very good condition - please see images for details. The poster will be rolled and sent in a strong tube. Free postage.

    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 ...
