Modern Publicity 1955-6 Part 1

Here is another tribute post to the fascinating series of publications called ‘ Modern Publicity ‘.  This annual covers the year 1955-56 and I’ve gleaned enough images to cover 6 posts, so it was obviously quite a creative one.

As a lot of the images are black and white, I’ve subtly toned some of them to add a bit more colour.

I love this poster advertising the British countryside, what a great perspective and rural scene.

Some amusing shape manipulation going on here with the banana head-dress and Cockerel newspaper.

Another fab ‘See Britain from Her Roads’ advert and the beckoning image of Big Ben as it lures you to visit London.

Since I’m mentioning the See Britain From Her Roads posters, here’s a few more I found on the internet. All created by different artists to help promote Bus, Coach and Rail travel around Britain.

Watch out, more to come from this mid century annual soon. You can also put ‘Modern Publicity’ into the search function on my blog to look for other posts from this series. Enjoy.
