GPO

內容簡介

內容簡介 During the 1930s, the General Post Office (GPO) was at the forefront of a new form of public relations. Under the stewardship of Sir Stephen Tallents, the GPO became a major patron of art and design in Britain.Design: GPO Posters presents the posters and graphic design of the Post Office from the 1930s to c.1970. Drawing exclusively on the archives of the British Postal Museum & Archive, this book describes the major personalities and themes of this ambitious and long-running campaign.The posters also contribute, through the extraordinary prescience of Tallent's patronage, to the emerging concept of a networked and wired-up economy of communication. Accordingly, the posters speak of modernity, community and service. Themes that appear increasingly meaningful today. Tells the story of the Post Office and the use of design in its visual communications.
