British Aviation Posters by Scott Anthony
From Futurism and Modernism to Art Deco and Surrealism, aviation was from its earliest days inextricably linked with revolutionary new ways of seeing the world. Focusing on the golden age of British civil aviation, British Aviation Posters shows how art and design was applied with great creativity and style.
'..fascinating text...Highly recommended.' Choice '...[a] lovely and interesting book...the story of an airline and, by extension, the country whose flag it flew... [British Aviation Posters] takes you to depths you could have hardly suspected from its title alone and offers many hours of fruitful discovery.' -Sabu Advani, speedreaders.info, December 2012 '...the volume fills a gap in the universe of transportation advertising.'
