Pursued

By crownfolio | Published: February 28, 2011

I found these while looking for something else altogether on the LT museum poster site. And I’ve never seen them before. They’re a rather surprising departure by Eckersley-Lombers and date from 1938.

Today’s post has been brought to you courtesy of our postman, who rang the doorbell just as I started wondering what to write.  He was bringing us another classic menu by the wonderful Dorrit Dekk, at a guess from the early to mid 1960s. As ever, it’s not just a great design, it’s a window [...]

I keep prevaricating about whether to post about eBay or this week or not.  There is stuff out there, but very little of it makes me jump up and down with excitement.  But then I thought perhaps that’s not fair, one man’s meat etc.  So here it is.  But don’t blame me if you don’t [...]
