5th-15th June 2008

Summer Fair, Olympia
Part of our stand (H85)

Part of our stand at this year's Summer Olympia Fine Art and Antiques Fair will be dedicated to an exceptional collection of original artwork for posters and advertisements by some of the most interesting designers of the 1920s and 1930s. At its centre is a large collection of designs by Dora Batty, one of the most prolific and memorable designers for London Transport in the 1920s and 1930s. Included are some extremely rare designs for some of her most stylish London Transport posters. In addition there are poster and advertising designs, book jackets and a couple of proofs for large posters by artists including Edward McKnight Kauffer, Edward Gordon Craig, Alma Faulkner, Norman Wilkinson and many others. Original artwork from this date is very rare, much of it having not survived. A small brochure of the collection complete with images, dimensions and prices is available on request.
