Rarely found in Quad Royal size, this stunning art-deco poster by Edward Mcknight Kauffer shows the worldwide air mail routes from Britain in 1935, with Imperial Airways shown in red - including the route to Brisbane, Australia which had opened just months before this poster was issued. In his typical bold style, McKnight Kauffer uses a silhouette of a hand - representing the exchange of mail - as the backdrop to his very simplified map of the world.
Edward McKnight Kauffer produced some of the most iconic and influential commercial imagery of the early twentieth century. A remarkably versatile artist, his work drew inspiration from a wide variety of styles ranging from Japanese art to Fauvism, Vorticism and Constructivism, and encompassed painting, applied art, interior design and scenography. Yet it remains his celebrated posters created for clients such as London Underground and Shell during the inter-war years for which he remains most famous.
