Despite the title, this isn’t really going to be a blog about all vintage posters. I don’t like quite a lot of them. What it is going to be about is British posters of the 40s, 50s and sometimes 60s, along with some of the other graphics of the period.
As well as just posting about things I like – or don’t like – I’m also going to be keeping an eye on what’s coming up for sale on eBay or at auctions, as well as any exhibitions that may be around. The aim is to be useful as well as fun to look at, so let’s see how we do.

Hi. I have just come across your blog and I must say I have found it so refreshing. I note that you have a general, how shall I put it, dislike of many of the railway posters depicting places around the country. As I am sure you will agree, beauty is in the eye and so on, and as these are the posters I prefer, I shall be pleased to take any surplus off your hands! Posters are a wonderful mix of design and art and I agree that the period 1930 – 1960 represents the best time for these, with wonderful graphic artists and designers working for the railways, the GPO, Shell and others.
Having bookmarked the site, I look forward to reading further blogs, and hope that we don’t compete too often on ebay!
Thank you very much, and I too hope that we shan’t be competing too badly over posters…
